A superb mid-19th century mahogany Wellington chest, circa 1850, of tall, narrow proportions and retaining a particularly pleasing warm colour and patina.
The chest is fitted with eight graduated drawers, each with turned mahogany knob handles and constructed with traditional dovetail joints. The drawers are enclosed by the characteristic hinged locking pilasters, the right-hand pilaster fitted with a lock, allowing all the drawers to be secured simultaneously.
The rectangular moulded top sits above a simple architectural case, raised on a projecting plinth base. The mahogany has developed a rich, mellow colour, with attractive figuring particularly evident to the sides.
Wellington chests were designed to provide substantial storage while occupying relatively little floor space, making this a particularly practical piece for a bedroom, study or drawing room.
In good antique condition with expected marks, knocks and wear commensurate with age and use, all contributing to its character.
English, circa 1850.
