Description

This attractive and original Early English chest of drawers was recently offered to Culvertons as it could not be accommodated within the previous owner's new home. When constructing this chest of drawers the Late 17th Century craftsman followed tradition and made it in two sections for ease of transportation, and he supported the drawers at the sides rather than from the underneath as we do today. He chose the walnut veneer with care before applying it to the drawer fronts and decorated them simply but effectively with boxwood line.

This William & Mary period chest of drawers was restored approximately 20 years ago and since then it has had little use. Its character has been retained and the colour of the walnut is particularly appealing.

A very attractive chest ready to be used enjoyed for generations to come.
