Antique Oak Haberdashery-style Two-drawer Chest

19th century
Description

An oak chest of two drawers, likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, probably French.

The rectangular top has a stepped moulded edge above two deep, full-width drawers, each fitted with a pair of decorative metal cup handles. The front uprights have recessed detailing and raised geometric blocks, with panelled sides and a plinth base completing the design.

The quarter-sawn oak has a varied brown surface, with visible grain and wear from use. The drawers are dovetailed, with softwood linings, and provide generous storage within a footprint of less than a metre wide.

Sturdy throughout, with both drawers opening and closing smoothly.

The unusually deep drawers and practical working height give the chest a resemblance to haberdashery and shop furniture. A useful piece for storing textiles, craft materials or household linen, with a broad surface above.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originally manufactured for late 19th and early 20th-century drapers, tailors, and commercial offices, haberdashery chests feature deep drawers designed to store textiles, accessories, and documentation efficiently.

These chests are predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as English oak, pitch pine, or mahogany, featuring traditional dovetail joinery and cast metal cup handles.

Authentic period pieces display hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, natural patination on the timber, original brass or iron hardware, and panelled side construction.

Position the chest as a low statement unit in an entryway, living room, or bedroom, balancing the deep oak tones with contemporary neutral walls and ceramic accents.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish twice annually along the grain to preserve the wood moisture and existing patination.
