If you are looking for a chest of drawers which combines plenty of space with a very decorative look, then a Victorian Chest of Drawers is probably for you. Moving away from the understated simplicity of the earlier Georgian Chests, Victorian examples were openly ostentatious and full of character. As the Industrial Revolution allowed more people to own cheaper machine-made clothing so the size of Chests of Drawers also grew.
Today a Victorian Chest will provide far deeper and larger drawers than modern examples as well as a far better overall standard of construction. Bow Fronted Chests and Serpentine Chests continued to be popular and straight fronted chests were often given grand chunky pillars and wide bun feet. Wooden knobs often replaced brass handles and chests were often constructed with a pine frame with exotic Mahogany, Satinwood or Rosewood veneers. This made the chests elegant yet light to move around. In Europe Chests of Drawers also became just as fanciful and decorative based on revivalist designs from the past with marble tops and fine gilt bronze handles. This celebration of excess ended at the start of the 20th Century when the chest of drawers reverted back to a simple understated item.
At LoveAntiques we have a very large selection of quality Victorian Chests of Drawers for sale as well as later Vintage examples paying homage to the style.
