Walnut Bachelors Chest

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Spencer Robertson Antiques

Lovely sweet sized walnut bachelors chest circa 1920, in the George 1st style. This is cabinet making at its best, with book-matched walnut veneers to the top, herringbone inlay and cross banding. The two lopers either side of the top drawer, pull out to support the top. When it is opened, revealing a book-matched walnut, veneer surface with herringbone, inlay and cross banding. The chest has the dual purpose of now becoming a desk, which is what a bachelors chest is. The drawer fronts are also book matched with herringbone inlay rounded off with a fine cockbeading. The drawers are oak lined with hand-cut dovetail joints. The chest has its original brass ring handles and key, with steel locks. This chest is in excellent condition.
