A beautiful chest of two over three graduated drawers in walnut and walnut veneer. The piece has all of the beautifully classic lines and aesthetics of a mid Georgian chest of drawers. We estimate this were in fact made sometime around 1940-60. They would most likely been a one off commission piece for a small local craftsman. The quality of construction is evident throughout – with the whole weight of the chest, dovetail joints and quality heavy brass handles. The exceptional walnut veneer to the drawer fronts is book matched beautifully and of a very high quality thickness. The top is veneered in outstanding spalted veneer, again book matched beautifully. There are also four ‘shield’ shapes cut in to the veneer top. Possibly just decorative or maybe a signature of the craftsman?
We adore the design, size, weight and outstanding grain of the walnut! Everything is right on this piece. There is one small area where the veneer has started to ‘ripple’. No loss of veneer and doesn’t really show, unless you feel for it and look at a certain angle (please see photograph). All five drawers run freely and a very clean internally.
A classic piece that will never go out of style and will only get better and better with age.
