This is a charming c1910 mahogany music chest designed specifically for storing sheet music, songbooks and folios, complete with its original slide-out shelves and brass side supports. Each drawer front is false, concealing the traditional concertina-style music trays that glide forward and drop smoothly, making it wonderfully practical for arranging and selecting pieces during practice.
The chest is raised on castors, which is typical of Edwardian music furniture and allows it to be moved easily beside a piano, gramophone or reading chair. Made from warm, well-figured mahogany, the piece has a lovely mellow patina, surface marks and scratches to the top from more than a century of use, and some age-related wear to the finish around the sides and edges, but
... nothing that compromises its authenticity or stability.
The metal handles give it a quietly elegant Edwardian look. The interior trays are clean and intact with their original curves designed to prevent music curling, and the brass supports still operate correctly. This is a genuine piece of early 20th-century musical heritage, ideal for a musician, collector, or anyone wanting a narrow, refined storage piece with character. It works perfectly in a music room, living room, hallway or study, and can serve equally well for storing papers, art materials or small textiles while retaining all the charm of its original purpose.
