Read more1970’s Old School Science Lab Drawers
£0FREE Ground Floor Delivery on this item within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a surcharge to send via couriers.
An original old school science lab bank of drawers, hand made in solid pitch pine. The drawers came from a school just North of York. This piece weighs circa 80kgs, as a reflection of the quality of solid wood used and craftsmanship that went in to finishing the cabinet. It is completely original apart from three handles that we had to replace. We fully cleaned the piece and restored it without removing its originality and character. The drawers have all been cleaned and sanded internally. Some do retain stains but only a few (see photographs).
Given the right room and position this will gain LOTS of attention and admiration. Tine to get super organised? 🙂 You could even add label holders for extra smugness once organised!
Dimensions:
91cm High, 132cm Wide, 51.5cm Deep (excludes handle protrusions)
Internal drawer dimensions: 43cm front to back, 37cm wide, 6.5 high
It will require a two man delivery team due to the weight.

£0FREE delivery on this item within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a charge to send via courier.
These school drawers dates to around the late 1950’s to mid 1960’s. They are a stunning example and very rare to be still in their original condition and finish. Esavian – ESA – was the brand name for the Education Supply Association Ltd. They produced a lot of Post War school and industrial mid century furniture. Most people know the furniture from school as a lot of it was produced in the 1950s and 60s. James Leonard designed a lot of the ESA beech and ply furniture.
These drawers are in exceptional original condition both in the beech framework and the original lacquered finish. The drawers have been later mounted on good quality steel hairpin legs (as found). Internally the drawers are clean (some faint pen marks etc to be expected). They would make a fantastic TV stand!
These are incredibly popular drawers and we are finding it harder and harder to get them. Every time we manage to find a set they fly out to another very happy customer.
Dimensions: 120.5cm Wide, 75cm High, 35.5cm Max Depth
Each drawer (internally) – 30.5cm front to back, 25cm wide (fits A4 size paper), 9cm high

Read moreIncredible Original Mid Century Old School Drawers
£0FREE two person Ground Floor delivery on these lockers within approximately 150 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield and rural areas will incur a charge.
These drawers are superb. Original Mid Century, circa mid to late 1960’s in perfectly aged and used beech. They very much have a look of James Leonard/ ESA/ Esavian about them but we can not find the red markings so they are being sold as unbranded. There are fifty drawers in total. Forty nine drawers run very freely and easily (one finger). One drawer is a little stiff/ sticky. The drawers have very unusual circular joint work, marking some quality hand made construction and clearly built for every day use to stand the test of time. These would originally have been used in a science lab, art class or as individual drawers for students with the names entered in to the recessed label holders. It is incredibly rare to find sich a large bank of drawers in such amazing condition. Perfect for collectors, magazines, A4 files etc etc.
They obviously carry marks from their previous life and use. They are rustic, original, solid and exceptionally well preserved and clean; given their previous life and usage. Perfect mid Century old school styling that will appreciate in value.
Dimensions:
106.5cm High, 173.5cm Wide, 41.5cm Deep (Top, excluding handles protrusion)
Each drawer measures 35.5cm Front to Back (internal), 30.5cm wide (internal), 7.3cm High
