In A Nutshell Antiques and Interiors has dated this piece to the 1920s.
Three of the drawers have been sectioned internally (although these could be removed) and the other three are plain inside.
Chests such as this were used for storing a variety of things - collectors would use them to store samples in, whether that be rocks, butterflies, eggs or coins etc. Nowadays they make excellent collectors cabinets for all sorts of things or even jewellery.
Overall it is in good original condition and has developed a lovely aged patina. There are signs of age and use and the cabinet has picked up some knocks and scuffs and sign of wear over the years but nothing detrimental and it displays well. There are some old marks and stains in the drawer linings but overall they're clean and tidy and they open smoothly. It has been lightly cleaned and polished and it is certainly a usable piece.
The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
