Featuring a rich, dark oak finish with beautifully aged timber, this substantial piece has plenty of traditional charm. The front is decorated with three attractive raised fielded panels, complemented by two generous drawers with brass drop handles and escutcheons.

The hinged top opens to reveal a spacious storage compartment, making this a particularly practical and versatile piece. Raised on shaped bracket feet with a moulded base, it has a lovely rustic presence and would make an excellent coffee table, blanket box or statement storage piece in a traditional or country-style interior.

The naturally aged oak, warm patina and signs of use give it the character and individuality that only an antique piece can offer.

The chest comprises four graduated drawers, each fitted with ornate antique brass handles and central escutcheons.

The drawer fronts are framed with moulded oak detailing and have a lovely, deeply patinated colour developed naturally over many years.

One of its most striking features is the decorative geometric inlaid band running across the frieze and continuing down the front corners.

The contrasting timbers create an attractive chequered effect and are a lovely example of the craftsmanship found on quality Victorian furniture.

The chest has panelled sides and stands on attractive shaped feet, with the whole piece retaining a wonderfully rich, warm antique finish. The oak has plenty of natural marks, grain variation and signs of age, giving it the character you would expect from a genuine Victorian piece.

A particularly practical feature is that the chest separates into two sections. This makes it considerably easier to move and means it can be delivered and installed even where there are small, narrow or awkward staircases — a very useful feature for an antique chest of this size.

A lovely and unusually decorative piece of Victorian oak furniture, combining excellent craftsmanship, figured oak and attractive original inlay.

Some wide boarded oak drawer bottoms have been replaced in oak and we will colour match these in a dark stain.

The drawer front is framed by shaped supports, with particularly appealing curved and scrolled corner brackets beneath the frieze. The square tapering legs give the table a simple, elegant stance, allowing the beautiful oak and decorative drawer front to remain the main features.

The table has a superbly mellow colour and genuine antique character, with the expected marks, shrinkage and surface wear associated with a piece of furniture of this age.

A very versatile piece that would work equally well as a hall table, lamp, occasional or sofa table.

The drawer bottom has been replaced along time ago.
