Early 20th Century, Wooden Chest of Drawers

About the Item

An attractive patina gives this utilitarian nine-drawer chest a sweet, nostalgic character. Made in Central Europe in the early 20th Century, the deep square shape of the drawers indicates that this piece was once likely used for filing papers in a factory or business setting. Aside from its practical purpose, the simple symmetry of the grid-like composition provides an innate visual satisfaction —as does the gratifying sturdiness of the construction. The original coat of paint has weathered with age to form a color palette of butter yellow, pale cream, amber and tan. The metal cup handles which adorn each of the nine drawers have also attained a vintage patina, ranging from bright silver to deep, oxidized burgundy.
