This Scottish bow chest of drawers is a Georgian style piece made in the 1920s. The body is built from mahogany with a dark brown finish and mahogany linings, complemented by a Muir Simpson retailer's label from Sauchiehall Street Glasgow. The design includes four graduated drawers of increasing depth, a felted pull-out slide situated above the top drawer, and splayed bracket feet at the base. Each drawer is fitted with matching brass ring handles and individual keyholes. The timber shows natural grain variations, and the hardware exhibits traditional circular backplates. Measuring 91 cm high, 76 cm wide, and 45.5 cm deep, this chest provides functional storage space. It suits placement in a bedroom, hallway, or living room as a classic storage unit.

FAQs

A Scottish bowfront chest of drawers is a traditional storage piece featuring a curved convex front, popularised during the late Georgian and Regency periods. Scottish designs often incorporated specific proportions, distinct drawer configurations, and regional timber selection hallmarks.

These chests were predominantly constructed using dense flame mahogany or mahogany veneers laid over pine or oak carcasses. Drawers were typically hand-dovetailed with solid wood linings and fitted with cast or stamped brass ring handles.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, hand-sawn timber marks on the back panels, and natural wear around original keyholes and drawer runners. Original drawer bottoms usually display slight shrinkage gaps aligned parallel to the wood grain.

Position the piece in a hallway or bedroom as a focal anchor, pairing the warm mahogany tones with contemporary minimalist lighting or modern framed art. The convex bowfront design softens sharp architectural lines, creating visual balance in contemporary spaces.

Dust regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year along the grain. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent the timber from warping or splitting.
