Our business is based in the beautiful village of Debenham in Suffolk, England, which is close to Constable country. I take our pride in being the 4th generation in my family to be antique dealers who have been buying and selling antiques for over a century. With our expanding web presence in the UK, we also have a base in the USA with Debenham Antiques inc. Along with expanding our international web based business, we also quite unusually retain our high street presence, with a large retail shop which we use to display our finest goods, and to offer the client a more personal service for the those who like to discuss their needs.
Here at Debenham Antiques we try to cater for all styles and tastes, and we believe this is reflected in our stock as you can find anything from 15th century carvings to late 20th century fine quality furniture. We have experts in furniture and paintings who buy our goods with safe knowledge. We also offer a wide range of fine quality reproduction furniture which is all lovingly handcrafted by ourselves locally, using the best timbers.
Debenham Antiques works hard to ensure that we provide the client with a quality experience from start to finish. All our buying, photography, restoration, polishing and shipping is carried out in house by our dedicated team of staff. This we feel allows us to be in control from start to finish, which only benefits our customers.

Mid 19th Century Swedish Carved Elm Chest of Drawers
Fine quality pair of 19th century Swedish carved elm commodes circa 1850. Rectangular tops in book marked veneered elm, solid moulded edges and rounded corners which form the top of the candy twist hand carved columns which run down each side of the fronts of these chests. Each fitted with 3 drawers of equal proportions and a further shaped drawer on the bottom. Each drawer is fitted with an ornate ormolu handle which houses the keyhole as well. Working locks and key. Each standing on carved paw front feet and a block foot to the rear. Rare to find a pair of chests of these proportions still together.
Fully restored and re-polished by hand in our workshop. Slight difference in colour between the 2 chests, this is down to natural daylight fading which happens over years when pairs of items are located in different areas around the home. Natural shrinkage to 1 bottom drawer but still functions and locks. Minor surface marks and fading to woodwork, ready for everyday use. Height: 97. 1 cm
