Unusual Georgian Oak Chest on Stand
An oak chest on stand of unusual form, in two sections.
The upper part has a broad projecting moulding above a sloping fall which opens upwards to reveal a void, above two short and two long drawers, along with a brushing slide supported by a pair of lopers.
The lower part has a pair of short drawers and a shaped frieze which is boldly carved and pierced with a pair of scrolls, on three cabriole front legs, the central one carved with a shell, and ending in ball and claw carved feet.
The two substantial rear legs, of curved shape, are joined by a plain stretcher.
The colour ranges from pale to medium brown with an excellent patina. Most of the brassware is original.
Probably Welsh, circa 1770-1800.
Dimensions:
90 cms wide at the waist, a maximum of 96 cms wide at the legs, 53 cms deep, 131 cms high.
