Regency period mahogany Bedside Cabinet with a pull-out STEP

A rare Regency period mahogany Bedside Cabinet with a pull-out STEP. The front contains two flame-mahogany drawer fronts with oval panels and oval ring handles.

The pull-out step is to aid getting into/out of bed, where a deep mattress can make climbing difficult for some. Above the step is a hinged cupboard of useful size, which has an unusual opening action (key escutcheon lever – press down to release – no key needed). The top has a solid gallery with two pierced ‘carry’ handles to sides. A good deep patina, wonderful colour and in excellent original condition.

Dimensions: Height: 30.75 inches.  Width: 18.25 inches.  Depth: 18.8 inches (78 x 46.5  x 48cm)

Date: c.1825-30
