Superb Victorian Figured Mahogany Wellington Chest with Original Turned Knobs

£1750.00

Beautiful Victorian mahogany veneered Wellington Chest dating from the mid-19th century period.

An exceptionally elegant and well-proportioned piece, featuring beautifully figured mahogany veneers throughout. The rich warm colour, attractive grain patterns and finely moulded cornice give the chest a wonderfully refined Victorian appearance.

The chest is fitted with seven graduating drawers, each retaining its original turned wooden knobs. The drawers slide effortlessly and provide an excellent amount of practical storage while maintaining the character and quality expected from fine Victorian furniture.

One of the defining features of this Wellington Chest is its original locking side bar, retaining its original period hardware. This classic feature was designed to secure all of the drawers simultaneously, making Wellington Chests both practical and distinctive pieces of Victorian furniture.

The beautifully figured mahogany veneers, elegant proportions and carved side supports create a timeless appearance that will complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.

A superb quality Victorian Wellington Chest offering outstanding craftsmanship, practicality and period charm.
