About the Item

A striking Art Deco bird's eye maple & macassar ebony tall and narrow chest of drawers. English - 1930s. The chest of drawers is of excellent quality and unusual streamlined size for this period. Compact and elegant in form, prioritising vertical storage. In excellent clean condition with a lovely colour. It has been re-finished by hand, but still retains light authentic marks to highlight its genuine heritage. The drawer side and backs are made of solid wood with dovetail construction, the drawer fronts are also made of wood, with maple veneer over. All work very well and are clean on the insides. There has been a veneer repair to the top front corner to note. There are some small hairline openings in places to the sides, but these are hardly noticeable. The chest has no damage and it is free from any woodworm. Veneered in bird's eye maple and macassar ebony, the chest of drawers is original and not converted. A wonderful piece that could be used in many room settings. Delivery included to mainland England and Wales.
