18th Century, English Chest of Drawers with Exquisite Marquetry

About the Item

A spectacular 18th century, English, five drawer chest with burled walnut and inlaid fruitwood marquetry throughout. Each drawer has a brass escutcheon and drop pulls, all original. The sides have patchwork veneer and central scrolling marquetry inlay. Raised on four ogee bracket feet. This is one of the finest chests of drawers we have seen, with extraordinary marquetry on three sides. It is in near perfect condition. We believe it is museum quality. A cabinet on stand with a very similar marquetry can be found in the British galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
