£0FREE 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.

A very stylish mid Century chest of drawers in a light golden oak. The style is very much of the large Architect/ Plan Chests that are incredibly popular and highly sought after at the moment.

Read moreEarly 20th Century Oak Drawers Chest
£0FREE delivery on this item. Post codes far away from us (Cambridgeshire) will incur a charge to send via couriers.
A great looking early 20th Century set of drawers in oak. We bought these drawers as we love the ‘Plan Chest’ styling. Good coloured oak with a nicely aged patina, they have numbers on the drawer fronts with some age and later added brass label holders. The chest has good weight to it reflecting the good quality oak construction. Very much plan chest styling that most people can easily accommodate due to their size. Just a nice looking solid chest of antique drawers. Something different from the masses, for sure.
