The beautifully figured timbers with original faded surfaces, the serpentine top with canted corners,
over a conforming case having fluted canted corners,

with four cockbeaded mahogany-lined drawers of graduated depths

raised on energetic spreading ogee bracket feet; the brasses original, possibly fire-gilt

Note :

The energy and woods in this chest is more than exceptional. 

The color and condition is what we always hope to find – without tampering and restoration.
When it arrived it was in dry "country house" estate condition.

This has simply had a single coat of clear wax.
