An early 20th-century florist''s seed chest comprising nine drawers arranged in a three-by-three configuration. Constructed in stained pine and retaining its original turned wooden knobs together with ivorine label holders identifying various flower varieties, including Aster Chrysanthemum Flowered, Cineraria Stellata, Celosia, Begonia Double, and Brachycome.
Originally used within a florist''s shop, nursery, or greenhouse for the storage and organisation of seeds, the chest displays the honest wear and patina associated with many years of practical use. The drawers retain their original interiors and provide useful storage for a variety of small items.
This compact bank of drawers would make an attractive desktop organiser, collector''s cabinet, or display piece for a study, kitchen, potting shed, or retail environment.
