Description

Antique Victorian Mahogany Tall Scottish Chest of 6 Drawers

An amazing original chest of drawers.

We are delighted to bring to you one of the finest examples of a rare Victorian (circa 1870) 6 deep descending drawer chest of drawers. This tall chest of drawers features a secret moulded top drawer with the finest flame grain book-matched Mahogany to the top frieze and lower plinth. The rest of the chest has beautiful fiddle back grain to the sides top and drawer frontages. The chest of drawers also has its stunning turned pillars either side complete with a shaped plinth which all stands on 4 substantial turned bun feet. This ornate tall Scottish chest of drawers is in an outstanding original condition featuring its original beautiful deep French polished finish with a lovely sought after Mahogany colour.

The chest also features the finest quality original turned mahogany knobs with mother of pearl inlays to the centre and brass keyhole escutcheons in front of its original locks (no keys). The finely dovetailed Ash lined drawers are in fantastic condition, smoothly operating with little to no drawer wear and are very clean inside. The drawer runners have been repaired and rebuilt as necessary so this chest has no drawer drop when opened, they work smoothly good for many more years of use.

We have carefully cleaned and waxed this chest, maintaining its original patina whilst giving a lovely natural sheen.

Please note; This item is in fantastic condition for its age as shown by the photographs below. Being an antique item of this age there are obviously marks, scratches and dents, however, we feel that these points are which adds to its charm and character to a piece.
