early victorian mahogany chest of drawers

Circa 1860, good early Victorian mahogany chest of drawers. The large rectangular chest has stylish veneers on top, a deep flat fore edge with a lovely slender moulding beneath, giving the chest depth. There are four long graduating drawers with matching flame mahogany veneers along the facing and stylish turned knob handles with concave centres and small finial inside. The drawers have oak liners and muntins indicating quality. Unusually, the drawers are flush with the facings, as there are no beadings or fore edges. Beneath the bottom drawer is a large enclosed plinth, with a slight tapering on the top almost a mirror image of the top. The chest is large with great colour and great storage capacity. Typical country house piece of furniture.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
