Antique 19th-Century Rustic Pine Drawers – Full of Character

This beautifully crafted rustic antique pine chest of drawers from the late 19th century features graduated drawers with original brass keyhole guides and locks (no keys). The top surface showcases a thumb-molded edge, subtly overhanging the sturdy frame. It includes three spacious drawers beneath two smaller top drawers, offering ample storage.

Handcrafted from solid wide-plank pine, this well-constructed piece boasts a striking two-tone aesthetic, as the richly grained drawer fronts contrast slightly with the robust frame. The natural wood grain, knots, and gnarly imperfections make this piece truly unique, exuding warmth and character.

The original dovetail-jointed drawer boxes, stepped skirting, and aged pine knobs reveal years of history. A rare find, the drawers retain their original hand-threaded pine knobs, a distinctive detail that enhances its authenticity and historical charm.

Utilitarian pieces like this chest of drawers from the late 19th century are a testament to the requirements needed in the Victorian times. Classic design, so well made they have lasted for over 135 years and still going strong to this day.
