A superb example of a George III period Serpentine chest of drawers. It has three long drawers, each with brass plate handles and it stands on bracket feet. The drawers have an inlaid strung border which is mirrored around the top edge. It is an excellent quality piece with solid oak lined drawers, plum pudding mahogany drawer fronts and of course the beautiful serpentine shape.
It is in very good condition for its age and is strong and sturdy. It has developed a beautiful rich patina with no major damages. The drawers open smoothly and are generally clean and tidy inside. It has picked up a few small knocks and marks, there is an old shrinkage split on one side and there have been some veneer repairs around the drawers but overall it displays well. The handles are not original but suit the piece well. It has been cleaned and gently polished and is ready for use.
