Solidly built and full of character, this large joiner’s tool chest would have once seen daily use in a busy workshop. Its robust green-painted carcass houses a practical arrangement of drawers, each faced in contrasting timber and finished with original knobs. The fold-down front provides easy access, iron side handles allow it to be moved when needed. A fine example of functional craftsmanship, ideal for use or display.
