A stunning and early Colonial chest of drawers, full cedar construction with rare Greek key inlay top and drawer fronts, plus inlaid wooden escutcheons. Sydney, New South Wales origin, circa 1825. This piece is obviously a Sheraton inspired design with the use of fine inlay work. This technique had all but vanished in Australian cabinet making by the late 1830s. 111cm high, 111cm wide, 53cm deep. Provenance: Sotheby's Sydney, November 13, 1989
