This is a beautiful walnut five drawer chest with quartered, cross banded top, waterfall veneered front with boxwood stringing on drawer fronts. The replaced Chippendale style brasses do not detract from the classic appearance of this quality chest of drawers.

 

​

Germany. Circa 1690.

​

This two drawer oak chest on stand features the geometric panels common in furniture in Germany, England and the Netherlands during the mid to late 17th century, except here it is taken to a whole new level with the degree of intricacy involved. Add to that the double split balusters across the front and this chest comes out a winner.  On a stand of slightly later vintage with baluster supports and bun feet.

Italy. Circa 1870.

​

This marble top commode in Renaissance Revival style features some of the most exquisite carving we have seen in some time. Each corner figure is individually carved with opposing arms raised, and each escutcheon/pull has a unique expression. In addition, there are several different molding styles employed throughout, each more intricately carved than the next.

England. Circa 1810.

​

This mahogany chest with four graduated drawers and bracket feet has a deep cross banding of mahogany on the top and boxwood stringing to accent both the top and drawer fronts.  Solid brass bail pulls, while difficult to determine if original, are very much of the period.

 

​

France. Circa 1840.

​

This cherry wood Empire commode has something unusual besides its wood—it has its original bronze hardware.  In classic Empire form with brass mounted columnar sides and a “hidden” top drawer, this chest exhibits an extraordinary patina to go with its overt golden color.  It is one of the best examples of its form that we have seen in some time.

 

​

Franc. Circa 1780.

​

Herringbone cross banding on each drawer front is a classic dash of style on this medium-sized chest of five drawers on bracket feet.  Not too big for use next to a large bed and not too small for and entryway, it could find a home just about anywhere—and dress that spot up quite well!

 

​

England. Circa 1800.

​

With its useful brush slide and handsome canted corners, this chest offers a good amount of storage space in a compact design. Four broad, graduated drawers ease the eye down to the tall bracket feet that keep the proportions from looking too compact and bring the height to a comfortable 33 ½ inches.

 

​

England. Circa 1820.

​

A superb mahogany chest on chest in unique bow front form, having ebony string inlay on a domed Hepplewhite crown. Brass ring pulls with round back plates are very much in keeping with the style of the period and the splay French feet are a finishing touch to the classic appearance of this handsome chest.
