Carse Antiques has dated this piece to the 18th Century.
The drawers are oak lined with pine bottoms. The chest stands on its original nicely shaped bracket feet. The top has a wide crossbanding in dark Cuban mahogany with boxwood line stringing. The top also has a cross grain ogee moulded edge which is a nice feature. The chest is in very good condition except for a slightly wavy top with a fine hairline crack which is hardly visible. The chest is the most gorgeous colour with original patination and a waxed finish. Just a really pleasing example of this popular design piece of 18th century carcass furniture. As good today as the day it was made. Drawer runners have been renewed so all drawers run smoothly.
