Victorian Mahogany Straight Front Chest

This gorgeous flame mahogany chest of drawers was English-made by hand in Victorian England around 1860. Having undergone a recent restoration that includes new hardware and a fine French polish, the chest now looks remarkably stunning. The flame mahogany displays a deep, lustrous complexion and a striking grain, which are complemented by the lovely satinwood banding. Each drawer of course features hand-cut dovetailed joints and still operates smoothly, while the splayed and bracket feet are as sturdy as they are elegant. There are a characteristic assortment of stress and wear marks in the surface of the wood but these are nevertheless minor; the most notable wear is in the feet, where a line shows at the point where the feet attach to the body, and where there is a small chip. The locks also no longer function, but otherwise this chest remains in excellent condition.
