A superb early antique satin birch wood two over four chest of draws by Heals and Son linen press/chest of drawers.
This statement piece of furniture screams quality, stunning craftsmanship with matching satin birch “matched”front panels, brass escutcheons plates high quality brass locks.
All of the brass locks have the VR ( Victoria Regina ) crown and Crest on the top facing of the locks.
The detailed turned handles are made of a complimentary hard wood and are also of the finest quality.
The Hand cut dovetailed mahogany lined drawers with easy brush inlaid borders, confirming even the inner workings of this piece are over and above the norm.
The high definition and mellow patina with the depth of grain to chest front doors, sides and drawer fronts again confirming high quality.
Even the frame with out the draws is really heavy,again another sign of quality.
Heals & Son simply the best makers of their time producing the highest quality furniture for the English aristocracy.
The piece is Circa 1860 when the founders son joined and catered for the emerging arts and crafts market shows that this piece was produced to the highest society customers in mind.
A fine piece of English cabinet making/furniture and is simply beautiful. We love this piece and Looking at the back catalogues and history of Heals this will have been a showroom window dressing display piece as they were only produced to order unlike the smaller models that were available in store.
188cm full height x 122 full width x 53cm full depth x drawers base height 120cm
As a genuine antique there is wear and use commensurate with age. Some knocks and marks to be expected, nothing that detracts from the use of look of the piece. Some wooden products may have signs of historic woodworm,we can see none on this quality piece.
