Antique Specimen Collector's Chest of Drawers, English, Artist's Case, Edwardian

1900 - 1920
Description

This is a fine antique specimen collector’s chest of drawers. An English supply cabinet in walnut and milk glass, dating to the Edwardian period, circa 1910. Originally commissioned as a dentist’s case, this charming piece offers exceptional versatility for art supplies, crafting tools or haberdashery.

Superb Edwardian craftsmanship, with quality walnut stocks displaying rich caramel hues and fine grain interest

Reassuring solidity with a weight of 12.2kg (26.9 lb)

Six graduated drawers, ideal for the organisation of smaller items — from brushes to threads or specimens

Top-mounted compartment, offering additional storage beneath a hinged lid

Appealing milk glass drawer linings, in original condition, with minor historic cracking to a single pane adding authentic charm

Chromed brass carry handle to the lid, partnered with a personalised name plaque for D.H. Barrett

Dual chromed clasps secure the lid firmly in place for safe storage

Each drawer held shut with a long, removable securing pin

Crafted by DCM Ltd, a maker of fine professional cases, originally tailored for dental instruments

A striking and unusual piece with strong decorative presence and high utility for today’s creative interiors

This is a fascinating antique specimen chest, equally at home in a collector’s study or a contemporary crafting space, with elegant proportions and timeless charm. Solid joints and construction, delivered ready for the home.
