| Antique Mahogany Cornish Chest of Drawers c1830 |
Recently purchased from a customer of ours this antique solid mahogany chest of drawers was in a poor state of repair. We believe the piece to have been made in Cornwall around 1820 – 1830, probably by a local furniture maker, designed to split in half for easy handling. The chest is made from solid mahogany with oak dovetailing to the drawer linings. It stands on solid mahogany bracket feet. Age of furniture is 1820 – 1830.
Antique Mahogany Cornish Chest of Drawers Dimensions :
Height 58.5 x Width 45 x Depth 23 Inches
The chest has undergone a considerable amount of restoration. Many of the joints have been repaired and cramped with traditional hot melt glue. We have replaced the drawer runners and fitted original style brass handles. At present the chest is French polished ‘off the rubber’ but can be oiled and waxed to give a well looked after antique finish. |
