Georgian or Edwardian Chest of Drawers ?
When looking for good quality antique chest of drawers but two sets look very similar but are completely different ages, what is the difference?
We have put up for sale two very nice antique chest of drawers this week and they look very similar in style but one is Georgian and the other is Edwardian so they are over 100 years apart. The Edwardians copied the Georgian style so this is why they look so similar and they are both very good looking and good quality chests but if it is an investment piece then the Georgian piece will be the one for you. The Edwardian chest will still be a good investment and is much more reasonable to buy so both are good pieces of antique furniture in their own rights.
The Edwardian chest of drawers is constructed from mahogany and has two over three mahogany lined drawers with swan neck handles. The antique chest of drawers has cross banding around all the edges and is a very nice chest.
The antique Georgian chest of drawers has two over three graduating drawers with brass swan neck handles shaped bracket feet. It is also constructed from solid mahogany and is very similar in style but is much older.
Both are very nice antique chests and would look very nice in any home as they are not over fussy and are very nice pieces of antique furniture.

Driscolls antiques ltd has a large stock of antique furniture and we especially have some very nice pieces of antique walnut furniture in stock at the moment. These beautiful piece of antique furniture are visible for sale on or website and are available to view at our antique furniture warehouse in Clitheroe Lancashire.
We have a very nice antique burr walnut wardrobe of small proportions and was built in the early Victorian period. The antique wardrobe has a has a moulded cornice above two doors with arched moulding and turned handles. The interior is quite stunning as it has a brass hanging rail, hooks, linen trays and four graduating drawers with brass military style handles. The lower section has a deep drawer with turned handles and stands on a moulded plinth. It is the best quality walnut of the period.
We also have an antique pier cabinet. It is from the Victorian era and is walnut with beautiful floral inlays. It has a central glazed and each corner has brass ormolu mounts. The piece stands on shaped bracket feet and again is stunning quality.
Finally we have a Victorian walnut antique bookcase with two glazed doors and two cupboard doors with beautiful central carvings.
