A George III mahogany chest on chest, width 106cm, depth 56cm, height 194cm
Estimate £150-200

Overall of good rich reddish brown mahogany tone and a fair state of polish to the front, the sides however are a much darker duller brown which looks actually to be a painted finish, vertical splits running through both sides along with scuff marks and old screw holes. Cornice with minor chipping around the top more notable towards the back corners, both top knob handles have losses where it meets the front of the drawers, handles are later replacements with plugged holes showing where it formerly had loop handles, small areas of moulding missing around the edges of one or two of the drawers, knob handles to the lower two drawers also with large sections missing, locks look original but no key present, apron and feet with wear commensurate with age.
