Hingstons of Wilton has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
Here we have this Wellington chest made of mahogany.
The drawers are secured when not in use by 2 locking bars that open on hinges.

The locking bar means that you do not need a multitude of keys to lock the drawers.
The name Wellington chest derives from the Duke of Wellington who had such an item made for him on campaign.
It is fitted 7 graduated drawers with brass Prince of Wales feathers handles.

7 drawer examples are sometimes referred as ‘each day of the week’ chests. Although I’m sceptical of this as each drawer is differing in size
They are the original office filing cabinet
108cms high (42 1/2ins)
41cms deep (16ins)
60cms wide (23 1/2ins)
