Queen Anne Walnut Chest of Drawers c.1710

This is an early 18th century (c.1710) Queen Anne period walnut and elm chest of three short and three long drawers. The drawer linings are constructed in oak, with the drawer fronts veneered in book-matched walnut, decorated with a single feather banding. The drawers are fitted with later brass engraved plate handles (appropriate to the period). The chest of drawers stands on turned bun feet. The sides and top of the chest are constructed in elm, which, along with the drawer fronts, has mellowed to a rich warm colour.
