Antique Pine Tabletop Birds Egg Collectors Specimen Chest

1900 - 1920
Description

A lovely tabletop pine chest of six drawers with the original stained finish and turned knobs, dating from the early 20th Century. It is a good quality piece and is solidly made with hand cut dovetail joints on all the drawers. This particular chest was used to store a collection of eggs in and each drawer is graduated in size and divided internally into compartments. There are the remains of some paper labels at the back of the drawers and a few bird names can be made out including 'Red Breasted Geese'. The wooden dividers can be easily removed or modified to make the chest useable for storing a variety of things.

It is in good original condition and displays very nicely. It has picked up a few minor knocks and scuffs over the years and there is some slight shrinkage around the bottom plinth but nothing detrimental. The drawers all open and close smoothly and are very clean and tidy inside.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions or would like to know any internal measurements please ask.

Nationwide delivery £15 or collection from Ashburton, Devon.
