With several detailed images available for close‑inspection, you can appreciate every facet of this exquisite restoration.
This English Edwardian chest dates to the early 20th century and retains all the hallmarks of traditional cabinet making, including solid construction, well-fitted drawers and period-correct brass plate handles. It stands on a simple, elegant plinth base and remains structurally sound and practical for everyday use.
The exterior has been later hand painted in a bold geometric pattern using Specialist Distressed Mottled Chalky Antique White with Mottled Chalky Inky Blue as the contrasting colour. The finish has been applied by hand and gently distressed to create surface depth and a sense of age, while allowing the form of the chest to remain dominant.
With its strong proportions, useful storage and distinctive decorative finish, this chest works equally well in period interiors or as a statement piece in more contemporary settings.
