A mid-20th century chest of drawers featuring three full-width drawers. The piece is constructed with a rectangular top and a stepped gallery back, supported on a continuous plinth base. The drawer fronts and top display prominent quarter-sawn oak grain patterns. The drawers are constructed using machine-cut dovetail joints and have lighter-toned wood or plywood interiors. Each drawer is fitted with two cast metal drop handles featuring decorative backplates with stylised floral motifs. A white rectangular tag is attached to the upper right handle with string; however, the characters on this tag are not legible. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.


Condition report:

The top surface shows significant wear to the finish, with visible scratches, light staining, and areas where the varnish has dulled or thinned (photo 3). Minor scuffs and abrasions are present on the edges of the drawers and the plinth base (photo 1). The drawer interiors show light staining and general signs of use (photo 2). The metal hardware appears intact with an aged patina (photo 1).
