20th Century, French Industrial Drawer Bank

About the Item

This industrial work table holds a chest of drawers with a unique, timeworn patina. Made in France in the 20th century, a series of ten drawers are arranged in two columns within a sturdy wooden frame. The cabinet has no back or sides, and the joints are fastened with nuts and bolts —practical, efficient solutions which give this piece a distinctly down-to-earth character. Black-painted metal cup handles add a subtle note of ornament, though the most striking decorative element is the distressed finish. The original grey coat of paint has weathered to reveal the natural wood beneath, giving this piece the kind of unique patina that can only be attained with age.
