ENGLISH GLAZED THREE-DRAWER CHEST
Circa mid-19th century
Item # 403YEN18P
A lovely English chest of drawers with three full width graduated drawers hung with ovular stamped brass hardware raised over bracket feet with an inner curved profile. The chest has a chaotic glazed surface that was probably applied during the 20th century, the superb wear throughout and vivid autumnal color of the chest making it rather eye-catching. The drawers are all hand-dovetailed in the typical manner. The size is perfect - small enough that it doesn't overwhelm a room while large enough for great practical storage. Absolutely gorgeous.
Measurements: 30" H x 18 1/8" D x 33 5/8" W
