This flame mahogany Scottish chest of drawers was made around 1890. We purchased it in England and imported it to our antique furniture store in Atlanta, GA. This hand made chest displays all of the wonderful characteristics that make Scottish chests so popular and useful. There is a "not so obvious" drawer at the very top over three deep, serpentine front drawers over three long drawers providing a huge amount of storage. The barley twist columns on either side give some elegance to the simple lines of this chest. The drawer pulls are a turned wooden knob with a mother of pearl inlay in the center. One of the knobs is missing about a quarter of the knob, but the mother of pearl inlay in the center is intact. All drawers are joined with hand cut dovetailed joints. All of the drawers also have locks but there is no key for this chest. The top of the chest has a few cosmetic age splits and there is consistent wear throughout the chest. This wear is mainly superficial surface dings etc. Overall the chest is quite sturdy and in good condition for its age. It would make a warm addition to any home or office.
