Description
A grand, square front, antique, Georgian chest of drawers in beautiful, richly toned mahogany. Check out the animal-printesque stripes across the drawer fronts. With five generous, graduated drawers, in a two over three configuration, there’s ample storage space here. The round, hanging brass handles are original and it sits on elegant, curved feet. This is a very old piece that comes scarred and bruised on all its surfaces – do browse through our photos for a good sense of this – but we love the imperfections of the antique timber and the history it holds. For all the marks and knocks, it’s very well-made and has already proved its longevity. Full of old-fashioned character and charm, it has a great deal to offer.
Original Homewares offers a thoughtfully selected collection of vintage & midcentury furniture, lights & homeware, chosen for today’s homes. Our goal is to present well-crafted, well-designed, practical pieces with narrative & character that still have a place & purpose. Sourcing from across the UK & Europe, from all periods, ranging from late 19th Century antiques to classic midcentury design to considered items from the past 25-30 years.

Condition report:
This antique, used piece is ‘sold as seen’. It is in fair – good, rustic condition. It has been cleaned inside and out, and a natural beeswax polish applied to the external wood but otherwise the original finish has been left alone. As you can see from our photos, the mahogany wood is marked, chipped and scarred across all its surfaces with some areas of border trim missing. We feel this wear only adds to the appeal and character of such an aged piece but we know this isn’t for everyone – please do browse our photos. All five drawers slide with ease, feature dovetail joints and have the original brass handles securely in place. The ring pull of the left handle on the first / top large drawer is missing. As you will appreciate from our photos, the handle design means this isn’t noticeable and the drawer can still be easily slide in and out using just the handle on the right. Sadly it would be very difficult to source an exact replacement handle or pull. The drawer interiors were lined decades ago with blue paper which is still in place. We would perhaps recommend adding your own liners over the top. The back of the dresser has been patched up a little at some point as shown but obviously this isn’t visible when positioned against a wall. The two sides have been painted at some point too – again, this isn’t particularly noticeable and we’ve shown it in our images, along with small splits down either side. This doesn’t indicate structural problems – it’s simply very old wood that’s dried out and opened up a little. Overall, the knocks and bruises are superficial and just skin-deep. It’s well made, solid and stable with much still to offer. There is no maker’s mark but its origins are British. Sadly, we do not have a key for the brass locks. If you have any questions or would like to view this item, just reach out.

We can arrange fast delivery with experienced delivery partners who cover most of the UK mainland that we have worked with for many years. We have a weekly collection of sold pieces, usually every Thursday, and onward delivery to our customers follows 1-5 days after this, depending on the delivery address. They are reliable and insured but their service does require a little flexibility as they work to set routes. They will confirm a date when they are next in your area and able to deliver. They will then update you directly via text with delivery updates and timings.
Please enquire for Scotland & remote addresses - we can quote separately for this.
Smaller items, such as lamps, are sent via DPD to UK mainland locations and the price is quoted in the description for this service. Tracking information is provided and this is a Mon-Fri delivery service.
You are of course very welcome to collect or arrange your own collection / delivery - just let us know.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 17th October 2024
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.
Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.
Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
How to request a return
To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
How you will be refunded?
Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.
If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
What can't be returned?
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
