This is a beauty, and a rare survivor. It is a Victorian, painted pine, plinth drawer chest from around 1880. It has been hugely unfashionable for parts of its life which tells in the saw cuts to the edge of the top. Somehow it escaped the trend for stripped pine during the 70s or 80s. Its last job was as a filing cabinet at a fishery near Leamington Spa. Now cleaned and waxed it is a very fine thing indeed. £350.
