A proper bit of old furniture 😍

This Late Georgian mahogany chest dates from around 1820 and has developed a gorgeous warm colour and loads of genuine character over the last 200 years.

Three graduated drawers, hand-cut dovetails and unusually chunky proportions for its size. That beautifully aged surface and rich old mahogany are exactly how I like to find them 👌

Available now - message me if you're interested.

Collection from Callington, Cornwall.
