Object Description
A fine quality Chippendale period chest of drawers in beautifully figured mahogany
English, c. 1770
Why we like it
The sturdy proportions, superb quality, great choice of veneers. The top drawer fitted with various lidded compartments and a sliding easel mirror.
Such simple and practical pieces intended for everyday use and ‘done in a neat but not an expensive manner’, to the same high quality standards as the more sophisticated examples, consisted a significant part of Thomas Chippendale’s oeuvre.
