Antique Victorian Oak Chest of Drawers with Inlay – c.1820s.
£645.00
A superb Victorian oak chest of drawers, dating to around 1820 – 1840, with exceptional character and beautifully figured oak throughout.
The chest comprises four graduated drawers, each fitted with ornate antique brass handles and central escutcheons.
The drawer fronts are framed with moulded oak detailing and have a lovely, deeply patinated colour developed naturally over many years.
One of its most striking features is the decorative geometric inlaid band running across the frieze and continuing down the front corners.
The contrasting timbers create an attractive chequered effect and are a lovely example of the craftsmanship found on quality Victorian furniture.
The chest has panelled sides and stands on attractive shaped feet, with the whole piece retaining a wonderfully rich, warm antique finish. The oak has plenty of natural marks, grain variation and signs of age, giving it the character you would expect from a genuine Victorian piece.
A particularly practical feature is that the chest separates into two sections. This makes it considerably easier to move and means it can be delivered and installed even where there are small, narrow or awkward staircases — a very useful feature for an antique chest of this size.
A lovely and unusually decorative piece of Victorian oak furniture, combining excellent craftsmanship, figured oak and attractive original inlay.
Some wide boarded oak drawer bottoms have been replaced in oak and we will colour match these in a dark stain.
