WILLIAM COOK 184 FINE ENGLISH & EUROPEAN 18TH AND EARLY 19TH CENTURY FURNITURE AND OBJECTS A Superb George I Walnut Tallboy. Veneered in walnut and with fine herringbone inlaid bandings, this tallboy dates from the end of the English walnut period. It is of an unusual design with two deep base drawers replacing the more commonly seen three. This allows the tallboy to be low waisted and this is balanced by the use of a deep banded cornice, which is unusual for this period in furniture making. The handles, which have developed a wonderful bronzed patination, are all original as are the unusual splay bracket feet. This tallboy is a superb mellow colour and a great example of an early 18th century piece of walnut.
