Late 17th Century / Early 18th Century Dutch Oyster-veneered Walnut Chest of Drawers

A highly decorative late 17th Century / early 18th Century walnut chest of drawers. It is extensively veneered with richly figured and oyster-cut veneers, arranged in striking geometric patterns throughout. The rectangular top is centred by an elaborate circular and geometric veneered design, the four graduated drawers similarly decorated with contrasting feather-banded panels, and have brass handles and escutcheons. The sides are particularly impressive, each centred by a bold series of concentric circles in contrasting veneers. Raised on bun feet, the chest has exceptional visual presence, with a wonderful depth of colour and beautifully figured veneers throughout. (#4148)
