Description:
This is a fabulous quality antique English Regency inlaid flame mahogany chest on chest, boasting a lovely colour, circa 1810, in excellent condition. Originating from the Channel Islands, the chest boasts a curved pediment, with flame mahogany cross-banding and satinwood & ebony string inlay, above a graduated eight-drawer configuration. The chest consists of two halves with a moulded waist to the base section. The top section is narrower than the bottom section, with a proportionately balanced waist. The top section comprises five drawers in a two-over-three arrangement. The base section holds a further three drawers. The drawers are pine lined, constructed with hand dovetail joints and finished with cock beaded fronts. They also retain their original working locks, with working key, and feature the original curved brass handles on oval escutcheons. The bottom section is finished with a simple curved apron, terminating on its original splayed bracket feet. The chest retains its original backboards. The item is a three-piece chest; it dismantles into three sections for easy transport and access into the house. This is an ideal item for the bedroom or landing as it provides significant storage space for clothes.
The chest boasts a stunning rich brown mahogany colour. It has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This Regency chest on chest would look superb in a variety of rooms from the hallway, to the living room or bedroom and is very useful as there are so many storage drawers. This item would certainly grace any home. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.
