Large Antique Victorian 2 Over 4 Flame Mahogany Bow Fronted Chest Of Drawers .
This stunning Victorian chest of drawers offers a beautiful and practical storage option for the home. With a naturally aged patina this would look great in a period property or rustic setting.
Dating from around 1870, It is constructed of a solid pine body with a beautiful figured and characterful “flame mahogany” veneer. The bow fronted design to the drawer fronts add an elegant and timeless quality to the piece. The original dark stained rounded beech handles are intact too, adding to its curvaceous yet traditional look. It has nicely hand turned wooden feet and a simple yet shapely carved baluster decoration on each side. The drawers offer ample storage space and get gradually larger from top to bottom.
It has been gently and sympathetically restored only. A few chips to the veneer have been filled and stained. The rest of the body of the piece has been lightly sanded to remove any flaking finish before being gently cleaned and wax polished. It retains its natural patina with lots of small marks, scratches and signs of use which I think all add to it’s beautiful aged character and patina.
Condition wise, it does have naturally aged defects and damage, including a split to the veneer on the top and one side, however these don’t impact on its use. I personally feel that all of it’s natural scars and marks add a sense of the pieces age and all add to its original antique charm. The drawers run freely, sit straight, and it is free from wobbles, loose joints and any signs of woodworm.
It measures:
46” wide, 23” deep (at deepest point) and 51.5” tall.
