LARGE ANTIQUE SOLID OAK CHEST OF DRAWERS - PROJECT

£ 45

IDEAL PROJECT! THIS IS A LARGE SOLID OAK CHEST OF DRAWERS FROM THE VICTORIAN PERIOD. WHEN RESTORED IT CAN BE USED AS A CHEST OF DRAWERS, OR A SIDEBOARD. IT HAS LARGE DRAWERS WITH METAL HANDLES. THE ORIGINAL HANDLES ARE IN THE DRAWER.

THERE IS WEAR AND TEAR AND NEEDS REPAIR, IT IS VERY OLD AND LOOKING ITS AGE. THE WOOD SEEMS TO BE OK, MINOR WOODWORM DAMAGE. ONE BACK LEG IS PARTLY MISSING WHICH HAS MADE IT SIT AT AN ANGLE.

IT HAS BEEN SAT IN A SHED FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS FOR TOOLS. IT IS WORN AND IN NEED OF RESTORATION. POTENTIALLY A USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE PIECE OF COUNTRY FURNITURE. AN IDEAL PROJECT.

THIS LOOKS OK AS IT IS, BUT COULD EASILY BE STRIPPED OR PAINTED. PLEASE SEEK ADVICE BEFORE STRIPPING OLD PAINT AND USE THE CORRECT SAFETY EQUIPMENT. IT WOULD LOOK GREAT PAINTED IN A CONTEMPORY COLOUR TO GIVE IT A STYLISH NEW LOOK. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT TALL FURNITURE SHOULD BE SAFELY SECURED TO THE WALL WITH SCREWS / BRACKETS FOR SAFETY.
