Antique Victorian Mahogany Chest of Drawers (c. 1870)

Description

Antique Victorian chest of drawers dating from the mid-to-late 19th century (circa 1860–1890). It features a classic, practical 2-over-3 layout (two smaller top drawers over three full-width lower drawers).
This is a heavy, substantial piece of traditional furniture showcasing excellent period craftsmanship. The drawer fronts feature striking, high-quality mahogany veneer with a rich, deep grain pattern.
Key Features & Craftsmanship:
* Authentic Construction: The drawer boxes feature beautiful hand-cut dovetail joints with visible cabinet-maker scribe marks, highlighting its pre-factory heritage.
* Period Details: Built with solid secondary provincial timber linings and a traditional panelled back.
* Hardware: Finished with elegant antique-style brass drop handles that complement the rich mahogany tones beautifully.
Condition:
Good, sturdy antique condition with a wonderful authentic patina. As expected with a piece over 130 years old, there are minor cosmetic surface marks, light scratches, and age-related wear to the veneer, which only add to its genuine historic charm. The drawers are clean inside, structurally sound, and run smoothly. Please see photos for a full look at the sides, top surface, and interior structure.
Dimensions:
* 120 cm (W) x 55cm (D) x 86cm (H)
