I absolutely love this chest of drawers, and have never seen another with this drawer arrangement. The timber is beautiful, and especially on the drawer fronts is highly figured. The handles are not original but have significant age and suit the piece well.

Condition: This is in good original condition, with a lovely patina and some minor surface wear, mainly to the top. There are a couple of areas on the top where the veneer has lifted slightly. The only thing of note is that the structure seems to have sagged in the middle a little, possibly due to the central divider between the two banks of drawers, and as a result some of the drawers don't sit perfectly in their spaces as the spaces are no longer perfectly level/square, though the drawers all run freely.

Dimensions:

Width - 83cm

Depth - 41.5cm

Height - 84cm
