18th century

Sold by In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors

Description

An interesting oak chest of drawers dating from the early to mid 18th Century. They have a beautiful rich patination and a good country look. They are made in two parts with small pegs that secure the top part onto the bottom part. They have good quality panelled sides and mouldings and are set on turned bun feet. They have engraved brass plate handles and matching escutcheons which, although put on later, have been on the chest of drawers a considerable time. They have a decorative curved panel below the moulded top edge which hides a secret drawer. It would have originally been secured by a sprung lock in the top drawers which is now missing but the drawer is still well concealed.

There are the usual signs of age and use and various old repairs and restorations where small chips have been replaced with new pieces of wood but nothing detrimental or untoward for a chest of this age. The drawers run well and are generally clean and tidy. The chest is strong and sturdy and overall they're a good quality set that displays beautifully.
