Cedar eight drawer chest. Item 2639.
This very good quality, full cedar eight drawer chest comes from a time when cedar was plentiful as evidenced by the 12mm thick dustboards, the 25mm thick backboards and the sides and top that are solid planks. The drawers are flanked by two turned columns and the piece rests on turned feet. It has been fully restored and has retained its mellow original patina-ready for the next 150 years. It stands 1415mm high, is 1205mm wide and 565mm deep. The knobs are replacements turned from old cedar. C 1860.
