Full Description
A small oak chest of two drawers, possibly made for a child and of particularly small proportions.
The oak lined drawers with fine hand cut boards with dovetailed jointed and bright medullary rays.
The drawer fronts overlapping and in solid oak.
The whole with original tiny pegs. The feet are continuous with the stiles, one rear foot depleted but still strong and sound and the chest sits level and solid. The side panels appear to be in elm and are original also.
The twin boarded oversailing top with soft shaped border and good patination.
Original hand cast brass handles, again with developed soft patina.
Heavy and well made, good colour and perfect as a bedside cabinet or in any small cottage room. Very solid and usable, a lovely piece of early English vernacular oak furniture with great character and charm.
