An 18th Century George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers

I’m sure many won’t believe this story.

30 years ago I purchased this attractive 18th century, George III figured
mahogany chest of drawers, from fellow dealer Guy Page.
I remember the deal! Crazy thing is, I have dealt in country oak from nearly day one in 1990,
so I placed the chest aside.
About 25 or so years ago, we did a few repairs, drawer runners etc… On a trip to UK,
I purchased the Georgian style brass swan-neck handles
and had a Georgian wire-bow key made for the lock.
I recently bought to my workshop from storage and a customer liked, so we finally spent a couple of days finishing the restoration.
How’s that! 30 years!!!
Anyway, the chest is on hold until she returns in a week or so.

18th century English faded figured mahogany chest of drawers, of small proportions.
The three plank moulded top, above two short, then three long figured mahogany book-matched, cock-beaded graduated,
oak lined drawers, having later, appropriate brass swan-neck handles.
Resting on shaped bracket feet.

Good overall colour and patination.
