Description

An absolutely gorgeous antique figured walnut chest of drawers. This was made in England, we would date it to around the 1890-1900 period, possibly earlier.

It is of superb quality and has a stunning patina, the walnut has a beautiful colour tone and wonderful grain patterns. The drawer fronts have double herringbone banding around the edges, there are beautifully cast brass handles and escutcheons. This stands on bracket feet and the top is also cross banded.

We have had this recently re-polished, it is in lovely condition for its age. There is just some minor wear and age related patina remaining beneath the polish.

To look at inside & out, this chest of drawers looks like & is constructed like a period 18th century piece, because it’s that well made.

FAQs

Walnut furniture gained prominence during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, particularly during the William and Mary and Queen Anne periods, prized for its rich grain and warm tone.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid oak or pine secondary timbers with figured walnut veneers applied to the exterior surfaces, constructed using hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer frames.

Authentication involves examining the timber patination, hand-cut dovetails, original brass hardware or fixings, and observing the natural shrinkage and oxidisation of the wood over centuries.

Pairing historical timber furniture with contemporary neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and abstract art creates a balanced aesthetic that highlights the natural grain and craftsmanship of the piece.

Maintain walnut furniture by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood without sealing it with synthetic finishes.
