Description:
A George III style mahogany chest-on-chest, late 19th century, incorporating 18th century elements, the upper part with a moulded and dentilated cornice and blind fretwork frieze above two short and three long drawers between blind fretwork chamfers, the lower part with a slide above three long drawers, on shaped bracket feet, 185 cm high, 82 cm wide, 57 cm deep. Other Notes: this appears to be a George III period chest that has been reduced in width and had its drawer fronts reveneered. The secondary wood of the carcass and drawer linings (oak and pine) are mostly eighteenth century, with the revival of interest in the Georgian style as a fashionable furnishing style in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, dealers quite commonly had original Georgian pieces reduced in size to be more practical and desirable for flats and smaller houses.
