Rare Fine Tall Chest Of Drawers Flame Mahogany 19th Century 7 Drawers Victorian
A gorgeous and extremely rare 19th Century tall flame mahogany chest of 7 drawers in lovely condition. Likely hailing from early Victorian England, circa 1840, as well as being stunning and excellently crafted, this exceptional chest of drawers has a wealth of wonderfully attractive features and is particularly rare as it’s an especially tall single-piece chest which is not overly deep, making it much more versatile than others of its kind. Extremely impressive, gorgeously toned and wonderfully practical, it will add refined bygone Country House grandeur to any interior.
Very impressively sized and reassuringly heavy, much of the weight is in the substantial solid mahogany top and sides, showing the attention to detail and fine quality of its craftsmanship.
It features seven beautiful oak-lined flame mahogany-veneered drawers with working brass locks and a key, a beautiful mahogany figured top, mahogany panelled sides and shapely turned feet.
Two stunning and extremely rare standout features, which juxtapose beautifully against the rich flame mahogany grain and colouring, are the complete set of fabulous original two-tone ebonised drawer knobs with central intricately patterned Mother of Pearl inlays, as well as the highly attractive raised drawer borders, which sit pronounced from the chest front to catch the eye and really set this gorgeous piece apart.
All in all this is an exceptional and exceedingly rare (we’ve never seen another like it) early Victorian mahogany chest of drawers, which won’t fail to impress and wouldn’t look out of place in even the grandest of settings.
CONDITION
This is in good-to-very-good antique condition. Structurally sound, incredibly sturdy and beautifully built to last, there is one key and the drawers all lock. It has to-be-expected minor marks and bumps to show its almost 200-year age, including minor nicks and wear to the mahogany veneered drawer fronts, which have been touched-up over the years, but are hardly noticeable out of direct sunlight and which blend in with the lovely grain patterning. Overall it's an exceptional, wonderfully attractive and extremely rare piece in lovely antique condition and if well looked after it should be just as stunning and even more rare in many generations to come – please see the photos.
