Description

Queen Anne Laburnum chest

This Queen Anne Laburnum chest was made circa 1710.

It is rare to find a laburnum chest, usually laburnum is cut to use as oysters on the finest chests that are combined with walnut and inlays. but this chest is made using the less dramatic cuts of the tree. It looks very much like walnut, but the colour is slightly darker and the mouldings are harder.

We can only assume that this chest was made on a large estate by the country cabinetmaker using the surplus timber.

It has the usual combination of 2 short and 3 long graduated oak lined drawers under, all fitted cast brass engraved swing handles.

The top with quartered panels of figured veneer, all cut by hand

It stands on bun turned feet.

Just imagine how much storage you will gain and the pleasure owning it will give you.

97cms wide 38 1/4ins

The Queen Anne style, spanning roughly from 1702 to 1714, is characterised by a shift toward curved lines, comfort, and domestic scale, moving away from the heavier rectilinear forms of the preceding William and Mary period.

Cabinetmakers during this era frequently utilised native timbers such as oak, walnut, and fruitwoods like laburnum, often employing intricate oyster veneer patterns cut across small branches to create decorative geometric surface designs.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, handmade iron or brass fixings, secondary woods appropriate to the region, and natural ageing characteristics such as surface oxidation and shrinkage cracks in the timber.

An antique laburnum chest works well as a grounding focal point in a contemporary room, juxtaposed against minimalist walls and modern lighting to highlight the rich grain and warm tones of the timber.

Maintain stable indoor humidity and temperature levels away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and clean surfaces periodically using only a soft, dry cloth without applying modern silicone-based polishes.
