Jonathan Charles Barcelona Mid Century Chest Of Drawers

The Jonathan Charles Barcelona Mid Century Chest Of Drawers is a genuinely extraordinary Large Chest of Drawers featuring nine drawers arranged across three columns, each drawer front clad in dramatically bookmatched walnut swirl veneer that creates a sweeping, symmetrical grain pattern across the entire facade — a Bedroom Chest of Drawers that commands immediate attention and anchors any master bedroom scheme with real authority. Measuring a generous 70.9 inches wide, 34.4 inches tall, and 21 inches deep, this 9 Drawer Chest of Drawers has a beautifully considered silhouette — the central column of drawers stepping forward in a subtle curved bow front detail, champagne patina inlay running along all the edges, and slender tapered legs with champagne patina metal caps giving the whole piece that unmistakable Mid-Century Chest of Drawers character. The bookmatched walnut swirl veneer top is spectacular viewed from above — that symmetrical swirling grain pattern forming an almost abstract composition in rich chocolate and amber tones that makes the Barcelona Chest of Drawers as visually compelling on the top surface as it is across the drawer fronts. Every one of the nine drawers is fitted with a soft-close mechanism and a foundry-cast champagne patina knob, meaning the Barcelona not only looks like a collector's piece but operates with the kind of smooth, considered action you would expect from furniture at this level. The transparent low luster finish preserves the full natural character of the walnut grain without hiding it beneath a heavy lacquer, giving this Large Chest of Drawers that honest, organic quality that distinguishes genuinely well-made furniture from anything mass-produced. Whether you are furnishing a luxury master bedroom, looking for a Large Mid-Century Chest of Drawers that doubles as a serious design statement, or simply want a 9 Drawer Chest of Drawers that is quite simply one of the finest available today, the Jonathan Charles Barcelona Dresser is the one to have.

Jonathan Charles Fine Furniture

Jonathan Charles Fine Furniture is the vision of Jonathan Sowter, an English furniture designer who excels at the art of fine antique reproduction. They design and manufacture the highest-quality European antique replicas as well as their own unique transitional designs, which are distributed to the best shops and interior designers throughout North America, U.K., Spain, Italy, Russia and France, just to name a few.

What makes them different is their meticulous attention-to-detail and pursuit of high-quality construction. This has propelled their company growth from just ten employees in April 2004 to over 1,400 in December 2011. Their passion for detail is also reflected in their in-house brass foundry, in which their manufacture their own hardware so that when they design a new piece of furniture they can also design one-of-a-kind pulls, hinges, locks and even keys for that piece. 

It is their aim to constantly expand into new markets, while continuing to be a brand synonymous with the finer things in life.

They are craftsmen

Jonathan Charles works with artisans who display a large range of skills. They take pride in their work, which is evident in their beautifully-crafted antique replicas. They go far beyond just creating furniture that resembles English classics. They employ age-old techniques, which breathe soul and lasting-quality into their products.

They are designers

Many of their inspirations come from original antiques that Jonathan discovers in his travels. Sometimes, they will reproduce them as accurately as possible, while at other times they will take a detail that they like and design a completely new piece of furniture around that feature.

Oftentimes, they will start the design process from scratch. They gather inspiration from a variety of sources – be it a classic wallpaper design, nature, classic antiques, a rare object, or jewelry.

They never design to the limitations of their factory, and have actually expanded their factory as they have developed new skills in advanced marquetry, bronze casting, hand carving and much more.

They stand for quality

They never compromise on design and would be foolish to compromise on quality. Only the finest materials are used in their furniture. They also employ inspectors that ensure technically-sound components and design throughout the process. These experts oversee production, checking in at key transaction points so that nothing is overlooked. Before an item is packaged, it is reviewed with a keen eye and must pass a comprehensive checklist by their quality control inspector.
