1890-1900's 5 Drawer Architects Pine Plan Chest.
Possibly, military as it has superb solid brass campaign handles. Outstanding aged patina gives this delightful set of drawers so much character and warmth. Ideally for an architect, designer or accomplished artist for storing work flat. Each draw is clean and runs perfectly, as the construction benefitted from being made as a one-off and, therefore, built with care and attention. For those (like myself) with attention to detail, please look closely at the patina, as it is something special only time can produce. The pine has an almost leather/skin look to it. It has a slight light skin/cream wash on it: light enough to see the grain, this would of been done at the early stages of the plan chests life and can be seen on pieces from this time. It's particularly noticeable on the draws themselves and the top. Each draw is hand dovetailed (front and back), which is so rare to find. The quality can also be seen on the back, as it made of slated 9mm pine boards, not ply (for extra sturdiness). Examples of this type of plan chest are not often found as they are admired by many. It would also be possible for this chest to be used in a living room or study as a coffee table with a table lamp on it (for example).
Measurements:
Length 122cm, depth 76cm and height 73cm
