Description

A well-proportioned English provincial oak chest in the two-over-three configuration, dating to the Regency or early Victorian period, circa 1820–1840. The case is constructed in oak with pine secondary wood throughout — a reliable marker of period British country furniture — and retains its original oval brass ring pulls with stamped sunburst detail, their patina consistent with age and use.

Hand-cut dovetail joinery is visible at the drawer corners, confirming period construction rather than later manufacture. The turned bun feet are original to the piece. The top presents well with good color and figure. The case sides show honest wear and finish loss consistent with approximately 180 years of use and should be considered part of the piece’s character and history. Offered as found, without restoration. One drawer hardware pull bar is missing.

Dimensions: 37″W x 20″D x 36.5″H
