Here we have a very rare collectors chest of drawers by James Gardner London c1880.
As you can see the chest has great natural colour and patina.
James Gardner was naturalist to Queen Victoria and had a Royal Warrant.
The chest is of the finest quality and was previously a specimen collectors chest.
The drawers retain their original bun handles ( one has piece missing as pictured ) and have exquisite fine hand cut dovetail joints
Naturally it has wear associated with age, use and from a previous working life, and is completely unrestored, the decades of use really does reflect on its authentic period charm
The drawers no longer have compartments
Dimensions are approx:
47H x 37W x 21.5D cm
Internal drawer dimensions approx:
30 x 18 cm

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
