Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1920s:
Medullary rays in the oak: cut from quarter-sawn timber.
Ebonised timber block handles: geometric styling from the interwar period.
Slotted brass screws on the lock: hardware made before cross-head fixings.
Faint ring marks on the top: honest household use over decades.
Neat drawer dovetails: early twentieth-century cabinet shop joinery.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

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.

This 1920 oak chest of drawers displays a Mid-Century Modern style with a warm brown timber colour and a light oak finish. The piece features three graduated full-width drawers fitted with original ebonised wooden block handles, a low rear gallery rail at the top surface, and substantial square block feet. Visible details include old marks on the top surface and a keyhole escutcheon on the upper drawer. The dimensions are 79.5 cm high, 91.5 cm wide, and 48 cm deep. Positioned as a practical storage item, this chest serves well in a bedroom, hallway, or living room for everyday organisation and linen storage. The sturdy construction provides a reliable surface for lamps or decorative objects while keeping garments neatly stored inside the free-running drawers.

FAQs

Mid-20th-century oak chests of drawers often feature clean geometric lines, minimal ornamentation, and functional timber handles, bridging Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern aesthetics.

These pieces were typically constructed using solid oak and oak veneers, incorporating hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, solid timber drawer linings, and sturdy block feet for structural integrity.

Look for authentic dovetail joinery, original solid wooden pull handles, period keyholes, and a natural grain finish that displays subtle patination rather than modern synthetic lacquers.

Pair the natural warm wood tones with neutral wall palettes, textured linen textiles, and clean contemporary ceramics or framed artwork arranged on the top surface.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a clear beeswax polish twice yearly along the timber grain to nourish the wood, keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
