FREE delivery on this item. Post codes far away from us (Cambridgeshire) will incur a charge to send via couriers.
An exceptional full 9 drawer Architect/ Plan chest of drawers by Abbess. These drawers came to us from the North o f Scotland Agriculture College in Aberdeen. They sat in the same spot since the early 1950’s. Inside the drawers were original drawings and plans from the early 1950’s, along with a handwritten Visitors book, dating back to 1953. All of this provenance will be included within the sale. We have never seen a more original Abbess plan chest in such superb condition. All of the drawers run freely and are free from any chips or the usual marks. The Abbess makers label is still present, as is the stamp inside one of the drawers.
The colour and grain are superb. Made from oak they have been stained (from new) in a rich golden brown walnut colour, that has just got better and better over the decades. This chest splits in to three sections (plus a base made later) for easier transportation and positioning in to the room of your choice. Immense storage in stunning style and exceptional condition. These chests are never with us long. We have not seen a better example of an Abbess plan chest than this one.

Width: 114cm

Read moreOriginal c1910 Ritter Dental Cabinet
£0An original Ritter (of Germany) Dental cabinet dating from around 1910-20. This was in a sorry state when it came to us but has now been fully refurbished. Standing on the original marble plinth with all original glass, shelves and handles. Unfortunately some of the glassware to the drawer handles did not survive the 100+ years. We decide to leave the bases on the drawers as they are still the original bases.
The piece has been finished in Farrow & Ball’s Green Smoke; which we think just complements the overall aesthetics perfectly.
We are unashamedly in love with this cabinet and it has lit up many eyes from the people that have seen the piece in the flesh. Stunning!
Very rare and we have not seen another one like it anywhere…..
