Superb Quality Antique 17th Century Jacobean Oak Geometric Chest of Drawers
A superb late 17th-century antique Jacobean oak chest of drawers fabulously crafted and full of period character. The chest features a striking geometric moulded front—a hallmark of Jacobean design—with two short drawers above two long drawers each fitted with original handles and escutcheons.
The drawers are oak-lined with early dovetail joinery and run smoothly within the carcass which stands on solid bracket feet. The top displays an exceptional patina, showing the deep, lustrous tones and natural wear that only centuries of use can produce.
This piece captures the bold architectural form typical of the late 17th century with its strong lines, geometric panels, and richly coloured timber. The fabulous dark oak colour and surface texture enhance its timeless appeal and authenticity.
A rare and genuine Jacobean period chest of drawers, circa 1680 — full of warmth, charm, and the unmistakable character of true English craftsmanship.
