This Georgian-style chest of drawers originates from circa 1900, produced by the cabinetmakers Maple and Co. Constructed from burr walnut with oak liners, the piece displays a warm brown timber colour with a figured, mirror-matched quarter-veneered top, cross banding, and a moulded edge. The serpentine front contains four shaped, graduated drawers fitted with engraved drop brass handles, while the structure rests upon short cabriole legs featuring shell carvings and pad feet. The dimensions measure 79 cm high, 100 cm wide, and 59 cm deep, providing a compact storage unit suitable for placement in a bedroom, hallway, or living space to hold clothing, linens, or household items.

FAQs

Georgian style walnut furniture is characterised by balanced proportions, figured burr walnut veneers, shaped fronts such as serpentine or bow forms, and decorative features like cabriole legs and brass drop handles.

These chests typically feature walnut or burr walnut veneers laid over solid timber substrates such as pine or oak, with solid oak or pine drawer linings and cast brass hardware.

Look for stamped maker marks, brass metal nameplates inside drawers, hand-cut dovetail joints, smooth drawer runners, and high-quality grain matching on the veneer panels.

Position the piece as a focal point against neutral walls to highlight the rich timber grain, pairing it with contemporary lighting, abstract artwork, or subtle brass decorative objects.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying or fading.
