An original chest of generously proportioned and well made Victorian drawers in mahogany. The drawers date from around 1850-70 and are graduated in depth from the two top drawers to the bottom. The chest comes complete with their original solid mahogany turned handles and all Mother of Pearl central inserts still in tact and present. We stripped the sides and top of the chest due to veneer damage and refinished in Farrow & Ball Off Black with a clear wax finish for protection. We kept as much of the original veneer by leaving the drawers in tact for contrast against the black paintwork.
We love the beautifully grained wood, the contrast with the paint and the fully finished effect. Transformed from dowdy and damaged ‘brown’ to a contemporary classic that will adapt and fit with a plethora of interior styles. The storage is very generous and all five drawers are very clean. This chest of drawers could be used in practically any room you needed them.
Please note the drawers are over 150 years old and they will have cosmetic marks to the front and some signs of wear. Please see all photographs for the true condition and just ask if you need more detailed photos.
