Large Victorian Scumble Painted Pine Chest of Drawers

This beautiful chest has been scumble painted to represent golden oak. It has a total of 7 drawers but gives the appearance of having 8, 2 small drawers to the left and the centre drawer and right-hand side drawer being deep enough to accommodate hats, with 3 long drawers beneath. The knobs are turned and it stands on bracket feet. Scumble painting was common practice during the Victorian era to make a relative plain and cheap piece of furniture such as pine appear to be a more expensive wood such as oak, walnut and mahogany.
