Description
Those who know me, know of my memory problem, due to an accident 28 years ago.
I have a short term memory.
However, every one of these wonderful pieces, I know who purchased, what they paid and where they sit in their beautiful homes.
For these memories I’m ever so grateful ❤️
A rare mid 18th Century English yew wood chest of drawers.
The plank top with moulded edge above an oak brushing slide, and two small over three long moulded drawers with later but appropriate brasses, resting on shaped bracket feet.
Note: The back boards and framework are also of yew wood, this is very unusual.
