Important George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers, c. 1770

Offered by: Patrick Bavasi

Description
Important and Exceptionally Large George III Mahogany Chest of Drawers
After a design by Ince & Mayhew¹
English, circa 1770

Of unusually large scale, the chest features five long graduated drawers within the main case and is raised on a separate stand. Standing nearly 50 inches tall, it possesses proportions rarely encountered in English furniture of the period. The richly figured mahogany veneers are exceptionally well chosen, with excellent color throughout. The chest survives in remarkably original condition and retains its gilt-brass drawer pulls and key escutcheons.

PROVENANCE
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, United States (deaccessioned 2013).
