This is a particularly fine chest of drawers. English. Solid mahogany.

The drawer construction dates it 1770 or earlier.

A similar chest, which was nowhere near this quality, just sold at auction in New York for $9000.

Provenance: I bought it from the estate of a doctor who was originally from the Sheffield area. It had long been in his family; I suspect that it was a nursery chest.

Restoration by a master cabinetmaker has just been completed.

It has been French-polished.

The brass escutcheons are original. No keys.

The brass drawer pulls are new, but I have the originals if you want them.

It is 38 1/2" wide, 40 1/2" high and 20" deep.

It has two drawers that are 10" wide and 6" high.

It has one drawer that is 14 3/4" wide and 6" high.

It has one drawer that is 35 3/4" wide and 6 1/4" high.

It has one drawer that is 35 3/4" wide and 8 3/4" high.

It has one drawer that is 35 3/4" wide and 10 1/4" high.

The feet are 5 1/2" high.

 

As to delivery, I just put $500 just to have a figure entered. Location is Vancouver's North Shore and you have to arrange for delivery, either by a shipping company, or by having someone in the Seattle-Vancouver corridor pick it up.
