Read moreRare 10 Drawer Architect / Plan Chest by Esavian (ESA)
£0FREE delivery on this item within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Further afield locations will incur a charge to send via couriers.
An exceptional and rare full 10 drawer Architect/ Plan chest of drawers designed and produced by Esavian/ ESA. Esavian/ ESA were more known for working with James Leonard and designing some fantastic school furniture in the 1950’s and 60’s. We have sold many ESA drawers, gym benches, desks and chairs but we have not come across a full chest of plan drawers by them before. The chest is marked with the ESA stamp, along with Moss Partners (1966) and a Staverton stamp. This means Esavian designed and produced the drawers, Moss Partners (Manchester) distributed them and they were headed for RAF Staverton to hold maps, aircraft drawings and the likes.
The drawers date to May 1966 and have been fully refurbished. The chest retains its original stamps for authenticity (see photograph). All of the drawers run freely and are free from any chips or the usual marks. Internally the drawers are very clean. All in all a pretty rare and gorgeous piece!
We adore the design, colour and size of the chest. A very rare find in this condition. The chest splits in to two sections for transportation and siting.
