Item no. 31
If one is looking for a compact, mahogany chest of drawers with an optional desk surface, then this Regency era, streamlined piece may be just the thing. Circa 1815, what was originally a bureau was modified into the present form, probably some time during the Victorian era. Ornate handles and ormolu top edging were added, but the evidence suggests after the original modification. The hardware has been replaced, although the piece retains its original Regency period locks, and the whole chest thoroughly restored. Unlike typical bachelor’s chests, only part of the top folds over, leaving a permanent flat surface for a lamp, ornaments, etc. Further details/photos re restoration available on request.
