Item Details

Style: Circa 1850, a charming Victorian pine chest of drawers, distinguished by its original faux bois and faux marble top painted finish. This charming piece features a shaped gallery with a beautiful hand painted detail. It offers versatile storage with two small drawers and two long drawers, all fitted with original knobs, brass escutcheons and supported by turned feet. A charming piece showcasing authentic period scumbling.


Story: Scumbling is a decorative technique of dragging translucent glaze over a base coat to add texture and depth. Historically, it was used to transform inexpensive woods like pine into the appearance of luxurious, high-end furniture. Faux bois - literally "false wood" in French - is a decorative craft that skill fully disguises other materials to look exactly like natural timber.
