Description:

This is a superb quality pair of antique English Victorian mahogany bedside chests, circa 1860, in excellent condition.  They are pedestals from a Victorian dressing table, which have been adapted into bedside chests.  Each mahogany bedside chest is designed with elegant moulded round cornered tops; this design is also reflected in the plinths. The pair of bedside tales are designed with three graduated drawers to each unit; two smaller single drawers above a large bottom drawer.  The drawer fronts retain the original finely leaf carved handles and the drawer linings boast fine hand-dovetailed ash lined drawer joints.  These Victorian pot cupboards stand on their top-quality rounded mahogany plinths.

The mahogany bedside chests are constructed of top-quality mahogany timber imported from the colonies during the Victorian period. The quality is reflected in the weight of these bedsides; they are heavy to lift!  Ideal for use in the bedroom as bedsides or lamp tables in the living room.
