About the Item

A fine George III mahogany bowfront chest of drawers in well-figured Cuban mahogany.

The drawers all with cockbeading and with original brass oval plate handles. The central drawer opens to a writing slide, which is adjustable with a ratchet, a pen tray and pair of ink pots. The low height by design so that the writing slide is an accessible height when seated, a variation on both the bachelor's chest and the secretaire.
