18th century Oak Geometric chest of drawers

18th century Oak Geometric chest of drawersThis is a superb set of 18th century oak drawers with a bold geometric design to them. English in origin and made very well. There is an usual drawer configuration which I love. There are two smaller drawers in the centre of the main body which look to be for candles as they have a secret lower section as well. Then there is 5 shallow drawers at the base which are an intriguing addition. It also has some large drawers making it ideal for use today.

Height 70cm Width 80cm Depth 49cm

The set back arms are a great design and makes these extremely stylish

Howard Chairs Ltd is the later name of the original Howard and Sons we all know

Good sized desk as well

The detail that attracted me most though was the almost bullseye type glass in the top four panes

Great quality and nice original condition with minor age related marks

These would require 3 metres of material (3m per chair)

What is also a nice detail is the brass pull handles on their backs

It also is very minor and has no effect on the usability of the piece

Sopwiths of Newcastle were joiners

This is a very attractive 19th century Napoleon III French square back armchair
