Antique Victorian Ash & Oak Chest of Drawers
Antique Victorian Ash & Oak Chest of Drawers
A handsome late Victorian, ash chest of drawers, circa 1890-1900, featuring a traditional two over three graduated drawer arrangement.
The chest displays beautifully naturally figured ash, with particularly attractive grain to the drawer fronts and solid top showcasing the timbers natural characteristics.
All five dovetail jointed drawers retain their original, wonderfully cast, heavy gauge brass handles, offering a pleasing contrast against the lighter timber.
The framework incorporates neatly chamfered detailing, adding definition to its otherwise restrained design. Further period interest is provided by the original backboards and blue paper drawer linings, all contributing to its honest, unaltered character.
Raised on a substantial moulded plinth base, the chest is a pleasingly solid and practical piece of late Victorian furniture, equally suited to traditional and more contemporary interiors.
The ash wood is a light to medium oak in colour.
Condition: Solid/substantial & fully functional. All drawers glide open & close as they should. Dings/marks commensurate with age/use. overall a superb example!
