Pair of Victorian Walnut Bedside Chests

Pair of Victorian walnut bedside chests. Each drawer is fitted the original turned walnut handles. Running down each front corner is a very attractive moulding. In the Victorian period when there was no electricity in the home, and so there was no requirement for pairs of bedside chests as oil lamps could not give off the light that was needed to read in bed, also life was more formal. In the 20th century this changed as people would relax in bed to read and so needed somewhere to place lamps, this created the demand for pairs of bedside cabinets. Cabinetmakers then to fulfil the demand then converted redundant large Victorian dressing tables to serve the purpose. Imagine these in your home and the good service they will give you, as well as being attractive and giving useful storage.
