A charming example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, this solid oak chest of drawers offers timeless functionality with a rustic elegance. Featuring two generously sized drawers, each fitted with original brass escutcheons, the piece rests on classic original castors that lend it a sturdy, grounded presence. Its simple upstand along the rear edge hints at its original use as a bedroom chest, designed to sit neatly beneath a window or against a wall.
Stripped back to its natural finish, the golden oak grain is now softly exposed, allowing the wood’s character to shine through, knots, subtle marks and aged patina all contribute to its story. The clean lines and minimal carving suggest it was made in the Edwardian or late Victorian period, likely intended for practical domestic use while maintaining a degree of refinement.
Ideal for modern country interiors, this chest works beautifully as a hallway piece, bedroom storage or even beneath a wall-hung mirror in a sitting room. Its low profile also makes it a wonderful candidate for a television stand in a cottage-style living space.
