A very unusual oak chest of drawers of colossal proportions!
The origin of the chest is unknown but it may have been produced for use for storage in an outfitters or department store due to the scale and superb construction quality.
Constructed mostly from solid oak - top, sides, drawers and handles. The handles are beautifully simplistic and tactile, suspended with lovely brass support fixings.
The drawers are offer huge amounts of storage, all with dovetail joint construction.
A superb piece of storage in its current state but could also be repurposed to add some character to a contemporary kitchen by using the drawers or handles within an island or larder.
In very good restored condition, there are some historic woodworm flight holes in a small area of the top, the piece has been treated accordingly, there are lots of polished in marks and scratches as to be expected for its age, please see photographs for more detail.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
