A magnificent original chest of drawers.

We are delighted to bring to you one of the finest examples of a rare Victorian (circa 1870) 5 deep descending drawer chest of drawers. This truly superb condition tall chest of drawers features the finest flame grain book-matched Mahogany to all of the drawer fronts and edges. The chest of drawers also has its stunning octagonal Flame-Grain turned pillars either side complete with turned top pediments standing on turned legs. This ornate tall Scottish chest of drawers is in an outstanding original condition featuring its original beautiful lightly faded French polished finish with a lovely sought after mahogany colour. The chest also features fine 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).

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

FAQs

Victorian flame mahogany furniture is characterised by the use of highly figured wood veneers, typically cut from the fork of the mahogany tree to create striking, flame-like patterns, combined with robust construction and classical proportions.

These pieces typically feature solid timber frames with mahogany veneers applied to secondary woods such as pine or oak, constructed using hand-cut dovetail joints for the drawers and traditional mortise and tenon framing.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage consistency, hand-turned wooden knobs, period-appropriate secondary woods, and natural wax patination developed over decades of use.

An antique mahogany chest can serve as a focal point in a modern bedroom or living space, paired with minimalist decor, neutral walls, and contemporary lighting to highlight the rich wood grain and historical character.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth, and occasionally applying a quality beeswax to nourish the wood.
