19th Century English 'William & Mary’ style, Yew & Walnut Chest on Stand.

19th Century English ‘William & Mary’ style, Yew & Walnut Chest on Stand.

A recent purchase from another dealer.

The chest had been coloured to a dark green oak and had been lacquered.

I could tell there was something more special beneath that finish.

As soon as we started cleaning it back, we discovered the Yew wood cross-banding then the solid Yew wood base.

Such a wonderful discovery!

19th century revival of a George III long demi lune mahogany side/hall table.

19th century revival of a George III long demi lune mahogany side/hall table.

They didn’t make them this narrow in the 18th century. Much shorter and deeper.
This was made to suit the narrow Victorian hallways.

The bowed single plank, reeded-mould top, above a narrow x-banded skirt,
having a single figured mahogany central drawer, with ebony stringing and later but appropriate circular brass plate,
ring handles, covering where the wooded turned handles originally sat. With faux drawers to each side.
Resting on turned tapered legs.

Good overall colour and patination.

Finally leaving my showroom this evening. Thought I’d make myself even later by taking a few window photos.

Why not hey?

I’m selling a beautiful harlequin set of 18th century English elm country Hepplewhite dining chairs for a customer, so popped one into my window.

The incredible beauty of 240 years of patina shining in my window is worth staying back for.
