Very unusual & rare antique Victorian Wellington chest, which is in immaculate & original condition. It’s ebonised with some gilt trimmings & the handles look original too. The top & bottom edges have stepped out curved corners & corner columns are fluted with gilded decoration. This chest is quite high, so all the drawers are quite deep, with fine dovetails & solid mahogany bottoms. The top drawer is stamped with the cabinet makers or sellers name ‘Hindley & Sons. Oxford Street. London’, which is engraved into the wood. This is normally a sure sign of quality & this piece is certainly very fine quality. It dates to around the early Victorian 1840-60 period. There is also an old piece of paper in the top drawer, which has an explanation about the history & design of this piece. This was probably written out many years ago by someone who originally sold it.
