This early 20th century Edwardian chest of drawers originates from 1920 in an English Country House style. Made from oak with a medium brown repolished timber finish, the piece displays quarter-sawn oak grain across the top surface. It contains three long drawers of varying depth, fitted with circular brass ring handles on each drawer front, and is raised on bracket feet at the base. The proportions measure 77.5 cm high, 91 cm wide, and 44 cm deep. In a modern interior, this item suits placement in a bedroom or hallway for storage purposes, accommodating clothing, linen, or household accessories while offering a flat top surface for lamps or decorative objects. The compact proportions allow it to fit neatly against walls in living spaces or guest rooms without dominating the floor area.

FAQs

Edwardian furniture often drew inspiration from earlier 18th-century styles, featuring cleaner lines, lighter proportions, and high-quality hardwoods like oak and mahogany.

These chests were typically constructed from solid oak or quarter-sawn oak veneers, featuring hand-cut dovetail drawer joints and solid wood drawer linings.

Look for distinctive dovetail joints, period-correct brass drop handles, natural wood shrinkage on back panels, and original drawer runners showing authentic wear.

An oak chest of drawers serves as a functional focal piece in a hallway, bedroom, or living area, pairing well with neutral wall palettes and modern lighting.

Clean the wooden surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a beeswax polish annually to protect the wood finish and grain.
