Great Vintage 1930s Oak Military Chest of Drawers
Purchased in Norfolk alongside other military furniture this chest is a handsome fellow with its campaign handles and little two door cupboard to the bottom. It possesses plenty of attractive features – those handles of course, chamfered edges to the front and rear, lovely roll to the edges of the oak top, rather gorgeous turned legs, it has a working key and it’s also of sensible proportions, giving it the chance to fit into so many different spaces. We had a similar one last year which was labelled Gillows of Lancaster and this one is almost identical and of equally nice craftsmanship.
Workshop report –The chest sits in good order with sensible day to day marks but nothing too stressful. The tone and colour of the oak is a pleasing golden shade and we have attractive panelled sides. The handles are original and age tarnished as are the painted drawers and cupboard interiors. The drawers are running fine and we have cleaned and waxed the piece so it’s ready for placing.
Without doubt a rather handsome piece of 1930s British furniture.
