Early 18th Century Burr Walnut Chest on Stand

18th century

Sold by Holmes Antiques

Description

A fine 18th Century Queen Anne Burr Walnut Chest On Stand of the most outstanding colour and patina. The chased brass handles are original and untouched. The original drawer linings are made in Oak, they are wonderfully clean, just as we like to see them. The piece retains all but two of its original locks. The legs are replacements, they are the correct shape and design for the period and an excellent match for colour with the rest of the piece. The edge of the drawer fronts are finished with a banding of Burr Elm. The double bead to the framework around the drawer fronts is a typical feature of the Queen Anne period as are the chased brass handles.

A fabulous piece of English Walnut Furniture, it really glows.
