Early 18th Century Burr Walnut Tallboy

18th century

Sold by Holmes Antiques

Description

A George I Burr walnut Tallboy with wonderfully figured Burr Walnut veneers, having canted fluted corners and brushing slide. Upon close inspection we have found that this piece is a marriage although it is almost impossible to to know this without close inspection of the construction of the drawer linings. The Burr veneers, herring bone, cross banding and lip mould to the drawer fronts appear to be the same on the top and base section, the colour also matches perfectly which suggests that the piece has lived together for quite some time. Some would say a marriage made in heaven, Its certainly a wonderful looking piece of Furniture for half the price you may expect to pay for one of this quality with these striking veneers.
