English Georgian Period Country Oak Mule Chest

Lot description

English Georgian period oak mule chest with drawers, late 18th/ early 19th c., having hinged top on iron rings opening to reveal interior storage, over three rows of drawers with knob pulls, rising on bracket feet, approx 40"h, 39.5"w, 18"d Provenance: The lifetime collection of Lynn Roth Jordan (Louisiana, Texas, 1943-2021). As an active member of the Austin Antiques Club for many years, Lynn was deeply embedded in the antiques community here in Austin. Her New Orleans upbringing in a family of collectors (many of the pieces come from her mother's estate), combined with her frequent trips to England, gave her a unique understanding of provenance, quality, and historical significance. The estate features an extensive array of English furniture alongside antique decorative objects, the kind of exceptional pieces that only reveal themselves to collectors who know where to look and what to seek.
