A beautifully proportioned oak chest of drawers, with a simple, understated design that makes it especially well suited to cottage, country-house and traditional interiors.

The chest is arranged in a classic two-over-two configuration, with two smaller drawers above two full-width drawers, all retaining their original brass drop handles. The clean lines, gently shaped apron and slender legs give the piece a lighter, more elegant feel than a larger chest, while still offering plenty of practical storage.

The oak has a lovely warm tone with attractive grain throughout, giving the chest a soft, timeworn character without feeling overly rustic. Its compact proportions make it a particularly useful piece for a smaller bedroom, guest room, hallway or landing.

As expected with a piece of this age, there are signs of previous use and wear. There is a visible darker mark to the top, shown clearly in the photographs, and one of the legs has undergone a previous repair. The repair remains visible on close inspection but forms part of the piece’s history and does not detract from its overall appearance. Both details have been photographed and noted for full transparency.

A charming and versatile antique chest with lovely proportions, attractive oak grain and the added appeal of its original brass hardware.

Please note: The wood is in its raw, unfinished state, with no varnish or protective finish applied.
