A well-proportioned provincial chest in solid oak, with moulded drawer fronts, geometric panel detailing and later brass drop handles. Four full-width drawers, offering straightforward storage. The top is plank constructed, showing age, wear and historic use.
A proper early piece with presence. Honest wear, good patina, and the sort of thing that’s getting harder to find at this level.
