Antique Gillows Chest of Drawers Burr Walnut Ebonised C1910

A fine looking piece from Waring & Gillow with the makers stamp to two of the the drawers. This is a very well designed chest from Gillows with lovely proportions and oozes quality with its ebonised bun feet, shaped galleried back, well cast solid brass wreath inspired handles, stunning burr walnut to framed drawer fronts, sides and cushioned walnut to the ebonised edged top. As mentioned it sits well with its 2 short top drawers and 3 long slightly graduated drawers below on a well made frame. Condition wise it's good with no splits to the sides, we have a few very thin nibbles to the rear side - hardly noticeable and not off putting,the lovely handles are in situ, drawers are running well and no nasty odours. The ebonised feet and edges are lightly aged, rubbed but nothing new, the top does have age marks but again nothing nasty, the burr walnut to the drawers and sides is of good tone and colour with very little if any fading. We have ensured the chest is clean and ready for use. Expect a well cared for and cherished piece with some aging. A very handsome chest of drawers indeed, from a renowned English maker.
