Extremely Rare Charles II Chest of Drawers

Extremely rare Charles II oak and walnut chest of drawers.

Two part construction with rectangular top over dentil molding; four side hung, geometric walnut cushion front drawers flanked by paneled sections; paneled sides and back, correct “post” bun feet. Most of the original brass drop pulls and baroque key escutcheons. 

To find an early chest of this type that retains all the original panels and molding is so rare.
