circa: 1820 width: 37 height: 31 length: 18 This antique mahogany chest of drawers was English-made by hand around 1820, during the Georgian period. Recently, the chest was restored by a third-generation cabinetmaker, who treated the flame mahogany and rosewood banding to a new French polish and added new solid brass pulls. The result is a stunning chest that boasts a deep, lustrous complexion and a pronounced, wispy flame mahogany grain. The rosewood banding and brass pulls also contrast beautifully with the mahogany, making this quite a striking chest. Of course, each drawer features hand-cut dovetails and still operates very smoothly, while the shaped bracket feet--also a new addition--are as sturdy as they are elegant. Beyond a few stress marks here and there (which are remarkably few for a 200-year-old chest), there is no wear to speak of beyond a small hole in one of the drawers, which is actually where a knot in the wood eventually gave way. Overall, therefore, this chest remains in excellent condition and would make a fine addition to any home!
