Victorian Pine Chest of Drawers with Original Scumble paint & Mirror

A particularly charming and unusual Victorian pine chest of drawers, retaining its wonderfully warm and characterful original scumbled paint finish throughout. Dating from approximately 1880–1900, this handsome piece has an abundance of period character, with three generous full-width drawers, original turned wooden knobs and attractive shaped bracket-style feet. The chest is surmounted by its superb original dressing mirror, complete with the distinctive shaped and pierced Victorian gallery and decorative side supports incorporating small candle or trinket shelves. The original scumble is especially appealing, with the natural wear and patination acquired over many years giving the piece a wonderfully mellow, honey-coloured appearance. The painted decorative scrollwork to the top adds a particularly unusual and attractive detail. The original mirror remains in place and gives the chest a striking presence, making this an excellent choice as a bedroom dressing chest, hallway piece or simply as a decorative and highly individual piece of Victorian furniture. A lovely example for anyone looking for genuine Victorian pine with an untouched, original finish, rather than a piece that has been stripped and refinished. Measurements: 900 mm wide × 475 mm deep × 785 mm high 1525 mm high to the top of the original mirror
