circa: 1890 width: 42 height: 43 length: 19 This beautiful antique mahogany chest of drawers was handmade in Victorian England around 1890. The flame mahogany has developed a deep, rich patina that complements the natural beauty of the wood, which is coated with a fine wax finish. The solid brass pulls contrast wonderfully with the mahogany, while the turned feet look great. Although this chest remains quite attractive, it has sustained significant superficial wear, including various scuffs and stains as well as damage to the veneers. Both sides have also developed small, cosmetic separations in the wood at the bottoms, and a few areas have been chipped, particularly on the skirt, but also on one of the top corners. Additionally, the drawers slide in and out with a little difficulty. This Victorian chest does, however, remain very sturdy, so overall condition is good.   « Less

circa: 1890 width: 43 height: 49 length: 21 This exquisite antique maple chest of drawers was handmade in Victorian England around 1890 and recently restored by a third-generation cabinetmaker. Included in the restoration were new bird''s eye maple veneers, new hardware and the black moulding around the drawers and top. The result is a fine example of the legacy of English craftsmanship that still continues today. The maple, for instance, displays a deep, lustrous complexion and an incredibly striking bird''s eye grain. Treated to an elaborate finishing process that ended in a quality wax finish, the maple is sure to grow more beautiful over the years. Solid brass swan neck pulls contrast beautifully with the wood, as does the black moulding. Each drawer features original hand-cut dovetails and original locks, although the latter no longer function. The internal structure of the chest is completely original and very sturdy, so overall condition is excellent.   « Less

circa: 1890 width: 39 height: 41 length: 20 This gorgeous yew chest of drawers was English-made by hand in Victorian England around 1890. Having undergone a recent restoration that includes new hardware, new yew veneers and a new base, the chest now looks remarkably stunning. The yew displays a deep, lustrous complexion and a striking grain, which are complemented by the lovely string ebony inlay. Each drawer of course features hand-cut dovetailed joints and still operates smoothly, while the shaped bracket feet are as sturdy as they are elegant. Because the veneers are new, there is really no wear to speak of, although the yew has been hand-distressed to look like an antique. The locks also no longer function, but otherwise this chest remains in excellent condition.   « Less

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!   « Less

circa: 1920 width: 42 height: 75 length: 17 This oak Welsh dresser was hand-crafted in England around 1900 and recently imported to our Atlanta furniture store. Today, the oak looks especially rich, with a lustrous complexion and a striking grain, and this is in part due to the development of a lovely patina. The Jacobean style paneling also looks quite beautiful, as do the turned legs and stretcher. A cabinet, a drawer and two shelves provide plenty of storage space, while the single drawer features hand-cut dovetails. Although this dresser remains quite sturdy, it has sustained some surface wear, mainly in the form of small wear marks here and there that are consistent with age. On the sides, however, age splits have developed. Age splits are superficial separations between the boards that result, as the term indicates, from age--they are purely cosmetic and thus do not affect structural integrity. Finally, the top and bottom separate for shipping and easy movement around the home.   « Less

circa: 1910 width: 42 height: 59 length: 19 This wonderful mahogany dressing table was hand-crafted in England around 1910, during the Edwardian period. Since then, the wood has come to acquire a lovely patina, which nicely accents the high quality of the mahogany. Brass Hardware provides a nice contrast with the wood. Various carvings and grooves, as well as the turned columns on either side of the tilting mirror, provide subtle accents that adorn the piece with a fine elegance. Five drawers, each of which feature hand-cut dovetailed drawer joints, and a cabinet space provide generous storage space. The sturdy plinth base supports the piece quite firmly. Condition remains excellent, despite a little spotting on the mirror, which is inevitable of a piece with such age. Certainly, this Edwardian mahogany dressing table would make a fine addition to any home.   « Less

circa: 1820 width: 43 height: 42 length: 20 Handmade in Georgian-period England around 1820, this wonderful chest exhibits all the fine quality and beauty characteristic of Georgian furniture. The flame mahogany, for instance, remains as rich and striking as ever, while the excellent choice in solid brass pulls and pierced backplates contrast beautifully with the wood. Traditional string ebony inlay adorns each of the drawers, which are positioned in a classic two-over-three drawer design, which was popularized during the Jacobean and Georgian periods. The elegantly shaped apron and splayed feet help to give the chest a comely appearance of elevation and spaciousness, while the rosewood crossbanding around the top of the chest looks quite stunning in contrast with the mahogany. Structurally, this chest remains as strong and stable as ever, although it has developed some crackling in the apron, face and top (see pictures). Otherwise, due to superb original construction and a recent re-polishing, this Georgian chest remains in excellent overall condition for a piece that is two hundred years old!   « Less

circa: 1820 width: 43 height: 40 length: 20 This antique mahogany chest was originally hand-crafted in Georgian-period England, later converted into the chest-cabinet combination you see in this listing, and recently imported to our antique furniture store here in Atlanta, GA, USA. Like many English antiques, this converted Georgian chest testifies not only to the skill and ingenuity of English craftsmen, but also to a rich history of hundreds of years of antique furniture-making. Like many Georgian-period antiques, this chest of drawers was restored and refitted probably either by Late Victorian or Edwardian craftsmen, and very likely on special request, given the unique design of this converted chest. Once a traditional chest with a two-over-three drawer design, this antique chest of drawers now contains three drawers and two cabinets. Each drawer features hand-cut dovetails and pulls out smoothly, while the cabinet doors also operate with ease. In fact, the whole of this Georgian chest is in excellent structural condition, although it has sustained surface wear consistent with age (see pictures). Also, one of the sides of the chest has sustained an age split, which is a natural separation in the boards; age splits occur in all solid wood furniture and are purely cosmetic phenomena that do not affect structural integrity. Often, they are considered aesthetically pleasing and markers of great age. Indeed, this Georgian chest of drawers remains as beautiful as ever, with a gorgeous mahogany complexion and grain, particularly around the face of the chest where flame mahogany crossbanding was used to set off the cathedral mahogany. The effect, when combined with the solid brass hardware, is a remarkable, stately appearance that is sure to make a bold impression on any room.   « Less
