18th Century Burr Walnut Chest of Drawers
A striking example of 18th-century craftsmanship, this burr walnut chest of drawers combines rich materials with timeless elegance. The deep patina, figured veneers, and bold brass fittings all reflect the high standards of cabinetmaking from the Georgian period, offering both beauty and functionality in equal measure.
Constructed from solid oak with exquisite burr walnut veneered drawer fronts, this chest features a desirable warm honey-brown tone with dramatic grain patterns throughout. The richly figured veneers are book-matched for symmetry, providing a natural marbled effect that changes subtly with the light.
The layout includes two short drawers over three full-width long drawers, all fitted with ornate brass plate handles and matching escutcheons. The drawer linings are oak, with traditional dovetail joints intact, and they slide smoothly on their runners. Each drawer offers generous storage, making this a practical as well as decorative piece.
The chest stands on classic bun feet, which remain sturdy and well-proportioned, contributing to its stately presence. A moulded top and base frame the structure neatly, completing the design with well-balanced proportions.
Whether used in a bedroom, hallway, or living space, this chest of drawers brings historical character and practical elegance to any setting. Its versatile scale allows it to complement both period and contemporary interiors.
This piece is in excellent antique condition with only minor wear consistent with age. The finish has been professionally revived to enhance its natural depth and clarity without compromising its originality.
An authentic and timeless furnishing choice, this 18th-century burr walnut chest is both a collector’s item and a functional addition to the home. It offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of English furniture history with enduring charm and sophistication.
