It was listed by Carse Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Carse Antiques has dated this piece to the 1800s.
The frieze is of multi reed design. The chest stands on large heavy duty swept out bracket feet with a stepped base. The drawers are all cock beaded with old but not original oval brass plate handles. The four long drawers are ash and pine lined whilst the 3 secret drawers are all mahogany lined. Incredibly the chest has NO splits to the ends or top which is a testimont to how well it was made. Highest quality cabinetmaking throughout.
The chest is in very good clean condition and has mellowed to a lovely light mahogany colour. Original finish and patination with a waxed finish.
