Very unusual tall slim antique Wellington chest with 10 drawers. I believe this piece is at least 100 years old, possibly older & it has a makers stamp underneath. I have a feeling it may have been re-veneered, but never the less it's a fantastic piece of furniture. The veneers are burr walnut, beautifully figured. There is an ebony stringing on the top edge, on the sides & on the moveable locking side bars. The handles on the drawers are also ebonized. This Wellington chest is particularly narrow & high. I've never come across anything like this before. Underneath the veneers is all solid timbers. It's also structurally sound & all the drawers work okay. This chest is of exceptional high quality, so please take a blown up look at all of the images to appreciate this. Both of the side bars swing open to allow the drawers to pull out. The right hand side bar has a lock & key.
