Georgian 18th Century Mahogany Chest with a Slide

18th century
Description

A Very Good Quality Mid 18th Century Chippendale Period Georgian Mahogany Chest, Having Well Figured Top Over Slide And Four Long Drawers, Retaining Original Brass Swan Neck Handles, Raised On Elegant Original Shaped Bracket Feet.

Whilst a relatively commonly found design and form for a Georgian Chest of this period, this particualr chest boasts some exceptional features which set it apart from many. These include the exceptional quality of construction, the use of the well figured, rich mahogany timbers and the practical dimensions.

The colour and patina throughout remain excellent and overall it is in good condition with very little restoration, or damage of consequence to speak of. The retention of its original brass handles and its original bracket feet is another indicator of how well loved and cherished this item has been throughout the years of its life.

Perfect for use in a variety of different rooms around the home this chest is incredibly functional and is still as fit for purpose as the day it was made. It’s even just about small enough to serve a purpose as a bedside table if required.

We believe this chest is great value for something so beautiful which offers so much function and will go on to be used and utilised for many years to come by the eventual purchaser.

As with all items we offer for sale this georgian mahogany chest has been examined in our workshops by our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers and received a natural wax polish, before being presented for sale.

Should somebody be looking for an antique pair of chests of drawers, or two similar for either side of a bed, or anywhere else in a room for that matter, then it would definitely be worth considering this chest of drawers alongside another which we presently have in stock which you can view using the link below. Stylistically they are very similar indeed and they would work well together in a room as a matched pair of georgian chests. There are of course obvious differences in dimensions (although these are pretty minor) and the timber is slightly different, but overall they certainbly sit well together in terms of handles, feet, having a slide and just overall look. You can view the other chest of drawers below.

FAQs

Georgian chests of drawers, produced between 1714 and 1830, are characterised by classical proportions, symmetry, and high-quality timber such as mahogany. Common features include graduated drawers, brass hardware, cockbeaded drawer edges, and sturdy bracket or Ogee feet.

Primary construction utilized dense timbers like West Indian or Cuban mahogany for the exterior casing and drawer fronts. Secondary woods such as oak or Scots pine were used for interior drawer linings and backboards, secured with hand-cut dovetail joinery and cast brass handles.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetails with uneven spacing, hand-planed timber surfaces, and pine or oak secondary woods showing historic shrinkage. Look for original cast brass handles, keyhole escutcheons, and signs of authentic wear on the drawer runners.

A Georgian chest works as a focal point in hallways, living areas, or bedrooms. Designers balance dark mahogany tones by placing contemporary artwork above the chest or styling the surface with ceramics, lamps, and natural foliage.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to preserve the patina. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and central heating radiators to prevent wood movement and cracking.
