A superb George III bow fronted chest commode of four graduated drawers on splay bracket feet in stunning fiddleback satinwood accented with ebony stringing and moulding , circa 1790. Of generous proportions and with an elegant gently sweeping bowed front. Of fine construction with thick lavish fiddleback satinwood veneers onto a solid oak and mahogany carcas. The fiddeleback veneers are found to the top, sides , drawer fronts , dividing rails and feet - a very expensive cut of timber with a stunning ripple pattern effect. All drawers are lined in solid quarter sawn English oak in correct period fashion, immaculately dovetailed front and back. Other indications of the high quality is the use of mahogany for the construction of the drawer rails and drawer stops and more importantly the satinwood faces of the drawer fronts are also veneered onto solid single pieces of curved and shaped mahogany.

Cleaned and waxed in our workshops and now offered for sale in splendid condition, with a rich colour and patina, ready to go straight into the home.
