This beautiful chest of drawers exemplifies the style of furniture that has become synonymous with the Queen Anne period. Small in scale, simple in concept and practical for everyday use, this chest of drawers epitomises the very best of early eighteenth century cabinet-making. The panelled effect of the top created by double lines of feather-banded inlay, with the richness of the burr walnut veneers in between is exceptional. The chest remains in remarkable original condition with the genuine character and patination that can only develop over three centuries.
