Cloverleaf Home Interiors has dated this George III Mahogany Tallboy to the 18th Century.
The upper section is crowned by an elegant dentil-moulded pediment, giving the chest a beautifully architectural appearance and reflecting the classical influences so admired during the Georgian period.
The drawers feature beautifully figured flame mahogany fronts, displaying a superb depth of mellow colour and wonderfully rich, naturally developed patina. Each drawer is finely finished with delicate cock-beaded edges, adding refinement and definition to the overall design.
Of particular importance is the survival of the original brass swan-neck handles, which complement the beautifully figured mahogany and contribute considerably to the chest's authenticity and period character.
The drawers are traditionally constructed with solid oak linings and finely executed hand-cut dovetail joints, demonstrating the precision, skill and craftsmanship of the original cabinetmaker.
An especially rare and desirable feature is the presence of two candle slides positioned at the midsection, a wonderful and increasingly uncommon survival. These practical slides were designed to provide convenient surfaces for candlesticks and add considerable historical interest to this exceptional piece.
The chest stands on its original bracket feet, giving it excellent proportions and a reassuring sense of solidity while preserving the elegance of its Georgian design.
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a fine Georgian chest on chest, retaining so many desirable original features and possessing the beautiful colour, patina and quality that collectors and lovers of early English furniture seek.
