What periods do these chests come from?

The listings span from the eighteenth century into the twentieth century, with strong representation from the Georgian and Regency eras around eighteen hundred. Edwardian interpretations also appear through Sheraton Revival pieces. Buyers encounter various stylistic indicators, such as stringing inlay or bow fronts, which help anchor each piece within its specific period of manufacture.

Are the oval handles original?

Many pieces retain their brass oval plate handles or drop handles, which match the period aesthetic of the drawer configuration. Oak linings behind the brasswork provide stable mounting for the hardware. Examining the backplate impressions and screw types helps determine whether the hardware has remained with the chest since its construction.

What timbers were used to build them?

Mahogany serves as the predominant timber across the selection, often complemented by flame mahogany veneers and secondary woods like oak. Boxwood and satinwood appear as decorative stringing elements. Oak additionally forms the internal structure, particularly in drawer linings and secondary framing components found within Georgian and Regency pieces.

How do I fit one into a modern room?

These chests offer versatile storage through configurations ranging from low three drawer units to tallboys and compact bureaux. Their warm timber tones integrate naturally beside contemporary or traditional interiors. Placing a chest in a hallway or bedroom provides functional surface space while displaying the figured grain of the mahogany exterior.
