A good example of a small Georgian mahogany chest on chest, dating from the late 18th / early 19th Century. This impressive piece is very good quality with attractive reeded chamfered corners, its original brass swan neck handles and a greek key cornice. The lower section contains three graduating drawers and the top section contains two small over three long drawers and it stands on bracket feet. The piece splits into two parts to make transport easier.
The whole piece is in good condition and it has developed a beautiful patina with a lovely rich colour. It is strong and sturdy and the oak lined drawers are generally clean and tidy and all open smoothly. It has been well maintained over the years and as such has some small old repairs in places but nothing untoward. There are some minor signs of age and use, some small surface marks and knocks and some old shrinkage splits in the sides but nothing detrimental and overall it displays beautifully.
