Full Description
This is a beautifully rustic and well-proportioned Victorian pine chest of drawers, dating from the late 19th century and displaying all the hallmarks of genuine Victorian craftsmanship. The desirable two-over-two configuration offers balanced visual symmetry while remaining practical for everyday use.
The chest displays a particularly appealing contrast in timber tones. A darker pine frame, planked top, and original knobs frame slightly lighter drawer fronts, creating subtle depth and visual interest that only develops through decades of natural ageing. The surface patina is warm, mellow, and entirely authentic, reflecting a piece that has been quietly lived with rather than over-restored.
Construction details include original brass escutcheons set over rebated brass locks, reinforced drawer bases intended for storing clothing, and neatly profiled quadrant finishing edges to each drawer. The planked top retains its original thumbnail edge, secured with visible period nails that speak clearly to its 19th-century origins.
At the rear, a solid planked back supports the cabinet, while the square plinth base lifts the piece gently from the floor, grounding it visually and structurally. Practical, honest, and full of character, this chest works beautifully as bedroom storage while offering genuine Victorian presence and charm.
