Large Victorian Oak Plan/collectors/shop Chest (1 of 2)

One of a pair of super quality very large double-banked free-standing plan chests or collectors cabinets. In light quarter-sawn oak with two hinged doors and a sliding centre door, each door with fielded panels and flanked by fluted ionic columns, standing on a plinth base. The sides and back are also panelled allowing them to stand in the centre of a room.

Each chest has two banks of 9 strong open fronted drawers also in quarter-sawn oak. There is a finger groove to the underside of each drawer to assist opening and all the drawers slide in and out. The drawers measure 94cm wide x 63cm deep (37in x 24 3/4in) and range in height from 8.1-8.9cm (av. 3 1/4in). There are locks to the hinged doors but we do not have a key (one of the locks on one chest is in the locked position but does not stop the door opening because the sliding door can be moved away from the lock).

Condition:

Excellent quality timber throughout (even the drawers), light marks/scratches to the front and sides consistent with age and use, tops faded and with more marks and also dry with some holes/flaking to the grains of the veneer (we will wax the tops on sale), no keys, old labels to interior.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
