What a handsome chest of drawers! It’s a long time since we last offered a Scottish chest of drawers and this one is a beauty. The piece is built in two sections, necessary for negotiating narrow passages and staircases. The upper section has three deep drawers with the flow of their serpentine fronts unbroken by knobs or pulls. Instead the drawer fronts have finger pulls carved into their undersides. These are flanked by serpentine corbels with a deep flute in the center. The 6.5"high splashback is removable, making the height 48.5". The top itself bears some stains, mostly superficial.
The lower section has three slightly graduated drawers, inset, with wooden knobs. They are flanked by almost full columns, banded, ending in a tall turned foot. The drawers all display astonishingly delicate dovetails, cut by a master, Some drawer runner restoration shows less skill but it functions well.
Each keyhole has a brass insert and all locks are in good working order, though keys are not supplied.
