Rare Queen Anne Walnut Chest On Chest

A rare early 18th Century Queen Anne Walnut Tallboy of beautiful faded colour, The piece is In very good original condition throughout. Having matched figured Walnut veneers, feather banding and double bead decoration to the framework. The superbly shaped cross grain cornice sits above a cushion drawer which is a rare early feature on such pieces. The matched veneers to the ends with cross grain banding to the front are particularly nice and have not suffered from shrinkage that often occurs in the groundwork. The feet are for the most part original with a few veneers patches at the base, they are typical of the Queen Anne Period having bold ogee shaping. The chased brass handles and escutcheons are again typical of the period, the majority of them are original. This is a fine and very smart example with lovely clean original Oak Drawer linings.
