Solid Timber Chest of Drawers

Five Drawers | Brass Swan-Neck Handles | c.1890s–1910s

A well-proportioned solid timber chest of drawers featuring five drawers fitted with original brass swan-neck handles and traditional escutcheon keyholes.

This is a practical late-19th to early-20th century form — robust, unfussy and built for daily use — with a pleasing patina developed through more than a century of service.

The proportions make it equally suitable for bedroom storage, hallway use or as a compact sideboard-height piece.
