A fine early 18th-century Queen Anne walnut chest of drawers, circa 1710, of unusually small and elegant proportions. The quarter-veneered and feather-banded top is framed with cross-banding, above two short and two graduated long drawers, retaining brass handles. Raised on shaped bracket feet, the chest displays particularly attractive figured walnut veneers and a warm, rich colour and patination throughout. A charming example of early Queen Anne furniture, its compact scale making it especially suitable for a bedroom, dressing room or smaller interior.
