Description

Here we have a Queen Anne, Circa 1710 (315 Years old), Walnut Chest of Drawers. This character piece features a standout herringbone inlay on every drawer and has original brass handles and key inscriptions on all drawers each with engraved detailing.

The two pairs of smaller drawers have no key inscriptions and this is because they have a secret method to opening them, which is a metal lever underneath which you push to unlock the drawer.

This piece was formerly a chest on stand which has been adapted in the early 19th century (1800-1830s) converting the base to bracket feet, this would be presumably because of the original tall legs of chest on stands may have broken at the time. But this has turned this chest into a more unique, structurally stronger and beautiful chest of drawers on bracket feet.

FAQs

Queen Anne style furniture, emerging in the early 18th century, is characterised by graceful curves, cabriole legs, pad feet, and a focus on comfort and domestic simplicity rather than heavy ornamentation.

Cabinetmakers during this period predominantly utilised walnut, often featuring finely figured veneers and herringbone stringing, complemented by brass batwing handles and escutcheons.

Authentication involves examining construction methods such as hand-cut dovetails on drawer boxes, subtle irregularities in timber grain, original brass hardware configurations, and historical patina.

Pairing historical timber furniture with clean-walled contemporary spaces creates a striking focal point, often balanced with minimalist lighting, abstract art, or neutral textiles.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, applying occasional microcrystalline wax, and avoiding harsh chemical polishes.
