Why we like it

This chest on chest has everything that one can dream of when looking for a perfect piece of Georgian furniture, the superb quality, a great choice of timber, subtle decoration and a most amazing colour and patination. Beautiful detailing to the original feet and the fluted frieze cornice. Rare, slightly wider proportions, great presence, original untouched condition.

Such simple and practical pieces intended for everyday use and 'done in a neat but not an expensive manner', to the same high quality standards as the more sophisticated examples, consisted a significant part of Thomas Chippendale's oeuvre.
