Regency Rosewood & Brass Chiffonier

A superb and extremely rare Regency period rosewood and brass chiffonier surmounted by a full width shelf with a scrolling brass three-quarter gallery. This is supported on scrolled-shaped foliate detailed brass front supports above a three panel frieze with a central scalloped shell and oak leaves carved cartouche. The centre doors with brass grilles and silks are flanked by bowed ends with four shelves each and flanked by cabled columns with foliate carved capitals. The centre doors open onto three sliding trays above three drawers retaining the original turned rosewood knobs and the whole raised on shaped, turned bun feet. All the mouldings are either pea and bean or nulled and the whole is in amazing original condition. Gillows of Lancaster illustrated several strictly comparable examples in their Room Settings.
