The chest features six useful drawers arranged across the front, providing excellent organised storage within a relatively compact footprint. The varied drawer sizes make the piece particularly practical for clothing, documents, accessories and smaller household items. Each drawer retains its original handles and fittings, preserving the established character of the chest and providing attractive period detailing against the warm tones of the mahogany. Designed in the Georgian tradition, the chest displays restrained, well-balanced proportions and a timeless simplicity characteristic of Georgian-inspired furniture produced during the Edwardian period. The piece stands on a sturdy plinth base, giving the chest a substantial and grounded appearance while complementing its clean architectural lines. Throughout, the mahogany displays gorgeous natural grain and rich warm colouring, contributing considerable depth and character to the understated design. Its particularly useful dimensions, measuring only 61 cm wide, make this an excellent choice where practical storage is required without the scale of a larger traditional chest. It could work equally well within a bedroom, dressing room, hallway, study or living space. Presented in good antique condition, with appropriate signs of age and historic use consistent with its early 20th-century origin. A highly desirable and versatile Edwardian chest combining Georgian-inspired styling, six useful drawers, original fittings, richly coloured mahogany and compact proportions within a practical and elegant form. Dimensions: Height: 77.5 cm Width: 61 cm Depth: 41.5 cm Weight: Approximately 30 kg (66 lb). See less
