Antique Edwardian Mahogany Chest of Drawers | Collector's Chest

1900 - 1920
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Antique early 20th century Edwardian collector's chest of drawers in mahogany, a charming and well-proportioned piece of good quality, showcasing fine craftsmanship and a neat, compact form.

The front is fitted with eight shallow drawers, graduating slightly in depth towards the bottom, each with a pair of recessed brass campaign-style flush handles, and the drawers are pine-lined, ideal for storing collections, documents, maps, jewellery or stationery.

The sides are fitted with matching brass recessed carrying handles in the military campaign manner, and the chest has a moulded top edge and stands on a deep plinth base with bracket supports to the back.

The mahogany displays a lovely straight grain and a warm, rich colour with a mellow patina, complemented by the aged brass hardware.

Presented in good condition commensurate with age. A very desirable small collector's chest of neat proportions, a perfect addition to any study, office, hallway or living room.

An Edwardian collectors chest is a specialized storage cabinet crafted in the early 20th century, characterized by multiple shallow drawers designed to organize specimens, prints, documents, or small artefacts.

These pieces are predominantly constructed from dense timber such as mahogany or oak, featuring brass campaign-style hardware or recessed cup handles designed for long-term durability.

Authentic pieces display hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, natural patination on brass hardware, and precise timber joinery characteristic of early 1900s cabinetmaking.

This functional cabinet serves as a practical storage solution in contemporary home offices, studios, or living rooms for organizing stationery, artwork, or collections.

Preserve the finish by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and applying clear beeswax polish along the grain annually, avoiding placement near direct heat sources or damp environments.
