This good size chest of drawers dates from 1880 it has been stripped and hand waxed.

This a good sound pine chest, the five drawer version like this one is becoming a lot less common these days, probably because they are all being snapped up, it gives so much storage for the space it takes up.

The chest has two short drawers at the top and three longer graduated drawers beneath, the drawers have, brass escutcheons and locks also still have their original turned wooden knobs

The chest has a moulded edge around the top and stands on its original attractively turned pine feet

This is a good quality chest of drawers, the pine is good quality there is no evidence of shrinkage and all the drawers run well

The chest has developed its own unique character and appearance over the years it has the usual signs of use there, otherwise the chest is very sound there are no creaks, all this said please remember that this is a piece of antique furniture, it may not be quite perfect and may have marks, and defects normally associated with furniture of this age there are no signs of woodworm past or present

I think that this attractive chest would be a wonderful addition to any antique bed room design but it also has that minimalist simple stand alone quality so sought after these days by our friends the interior designers.

The chest stands 39’’ high, 18’’ deep and is 37’’ long
