About the Item

A fine late Regency flame mahogany chamber cabinet, English circa 1865, featuring two short drawers over a double‑door cupboard, raised on elegant turned legs. Crafted of richly figured flame mahogany with a warm, well‑patinated surface, the cabinet retains excellent character and depth of color throughout. Once serving as a chamber cabinet—a refined washstand designed for a gentleman’s or lady’s dressing room—it exemplifies the discreet elegance and functional craftsmanship of mid‑nineteenth‑century English furniture. The brass oval pulls, later replacements, harmonize with the cabinet’s original joinery, gallery top, and carcass, all of which remain intact. Age‑related shrinkage cracks and surface wear attest to its authentic nineteenth‑century craftsmanship, giving the piece the kind of mellow patina that only time can produce. Versatile in both scale and design, this cabinet would serve beautifully as a side cupboard, writing desk, or bedside table, bringing understated Regency sophistication to any interior. Dimensions: H=32 in. W=30 in. D=19 in. 40 lbs.

Early George III Mahogany Serpentine Bachelor s Chest With Brushing Slide
Located in Chicago, IL
The George III design, named after the English monarch, is characterized by clean lines and high-quality wood. This Circa 1760 chest is crafted entirely from mahogany, featuring three graduated drawers lined with white pine. The drawer fronts are veneered in flame mahogany and adorned with their original brass handles. Many craftsmen favored mahogany for its durability and rich coloring. Given the expense of procuring mahogany, items made from this wood were typically intended for affluent buyers. Petite chests like this one often include a discreet brushing slide at the top, which pulls out with a small brass knob to reveal a surface for laying out clothes to be brushed before wearing. These gentleman’s chests, introduced as 'dressing chests,' are the historical precursors to ‘bachelor’s chests.’ Additional features include vertical side trim with swirling vine motifs and acanthus leaves emerging from carved canted corners, as well as bracket feet. Overall, this is a stunning chest that fits seamlessly into any room and serves multiple purposes: as a bedroom dresser, bathroom or hallway commode, or dining room...
