A Late Georgian Mahogany Chest with Splayed Feet

This mahogy chest of drawers came in needing quite a lot of work.

The front feet had pieces broken out and the pine substructure needed rebuilding. 150mm of veneer was missing from each of the feet at the front and needed replacing. The drawers had a lot of cock beading missing and all the drawer runners were badly worn and needed replacing. Apart from those faults it had water marks to the top and the whole chest needed careful cleaning to retain the patina and polishing.

The customer was delighted.
