Vintage Esavian Tall School Art Chest of Drawers 3103d
IN STOCK: Regular price £595.00
A scarcely seen tall chest of school drawers designed by James Leonard for Esavian (ESA) The Educational Supply Association. These drawers were rescued from a large school art department, we have never seen them before and can't find any others online.
– Excellent restored condition
A very versatile piece of storage with five large graduating drawers with simplistic solid beech handles,brass index plates and iconic Esavian base.
This beautiful piece of furniture is constructed from a combination of solid beech (drawers, base and carcass frame) and plywood (inset top and inset sides)
A stunning example of Mid Century furniture, and one of our absolute favourites.
We have painstakingly restored these drawers back to their beautiful original character. Any structural work has been carried out where required such as loose or new drawer runners, leg joints etc. They have then been sanded back and oiled resulting in a stunning piece with a rich, warm finish.
Condition
These drawers are vintage and have had years of use in schools by children so they do come with imperfections. They will have marks, polished in scratches, nics and the odd dink here and there... which add to their character, vintage appeal and gives a unique aged look - something that new furniture cannot replicate! There are marks etc inside the drawers but these could be easily lined with a paper of your choice if desired. Please see the photos for more detail.
