Small Victorian Mahogany Chest of Drawers

A charming small Victorian mahogany chest of drawers, dating from the mid 19th century, offering excellent colour, attractive figuring and highly practical storage within a compact footprint. The chest is constructed from well-figured mahogany with a rich, warm patina developed over time. It features two short drawers above three long graduated drawers, all retaining their original turned mahogany knob handles, which add to the piece’s authentic character. A particularly clever design feature can be seen in the bottom drawer, which incorporates the plinth into its construction. This allows the chest to maintain the appearance of perfectly graduated drawers while cleverly utilising the plinth space to create a deeper and more practical bottom drawer, providing additional storage without altering the visual proportions of the piece. With its balanced proportions, attractive grain, and useful size, this Victorian chest would be ideal for a bedroom, hallway, or guest room, bringing both practicality and classic antique charm. Key Features: • Authentic Victorian mahogany chest of drawers, mid-19th century • Compact and versatile size • Original turned mahogany knob handles throughout • Two short drawers over three graduated long drawers • Clever plinth-integrated bottom drawer allowing extra storage while maintaining drawer proportions • Attractive figured mahogany with warm aged patina • Solid construction and practical everyday storage “There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man’s lawful prey.” On occasions customers have been disappointed to miss an item as they e-mailed their enquiry instead of phoning, I would recommend that if you wished to get the piece, please call rather than e-mail.
