Small George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers with Brushing Slide, Circa 1800

A charming small George III mahogany chest of drawers, dating to circa 1800.

Of particularly useful compact proportions, the chest has a rectangular moulded top with a well-figured mahogany centre and contrasting crossbanded border. Beneath is a pull-out brushing slide, above four graduated long drawers, the drawer fronts displaying attractive figuring and further crossbanded detail.

The drawers are fitted with brass swan-neck handles and escutcheons, and the chest is raised on traditional bracket feet.

A very practical and appealing Georgian chest, its unusually small proportions making it particularly suitable for use as a bedside chest, lamp table or storage piece where space is limited.

The chest is offered in largely untouched country-house condition, with various marks, knocks, scratches and wear commensurate with its age and use. 

Circa 1800.
