George III English Mahogany Chest on Chest, Tallboy, c. 1780

A well-figured English mahogany chest on chest from the George III period, circa 1780, also known as a tallboy, built in two separate sections. The upper section is topped with a deep dentil-moulded cornice, below which sit two short drawers over three long graduated drawers, the whole flanked by reeded, chamfered corner columns. The lower section adds three further full-width drawers, and the piece stands throughout on bracket feet. The mahogany is richly figured, particularly across the drawer fronts, and has built up a deep, glowing colour over more than two hundred years. All original brass fittings survive, swan-neck handles, backplates and escutcheons and the locks still work, with two keys included. A genuine statement piece for any room. Very good condition, with every drawer running smoothly and excellent colour throughout. Please note that shipping is not included in the purchase price.
