QR Code Link to This Post
The chest's body and drawer fronts are made of SOLID Ribbon Mahogany. Secondary wood is oak, the interior of the drawers have the tertiary wood, maple.
The chest was fully shined up, refinished and restored January 2023
What sets the chest even more apart is the AMAZING solid brass medallion hardware and Celtic hinge on the top cabinet.
The piece is from the British Isles.
I am not certain of the age of the piece.
Typically, Gentleman's chests like this are from the early twentieth century. But, the dovetails are uneven and hand cut. (See picture)
The hardware is gorgeous as well and complete.
We were also able to find a skeleton key to lock the top cabinet.
Dimensions of the chest are:
40 inches wide
19.5 inches deep
71 inches tall
*Top shelf (above the cabinet) is 59 inches
*Second lower shelf (in front of the mirror) is 46 inches tall
Priced to go at $885!!
