Description
Vintage bank of drawers consisting of a heavy plywood frame holding 59 small metal industrial drawers, 48 of which are around shoe box size, with 11 smaller ones above. They look to have been made in the 1950s or 1960s, probably: they have their original bronze colour paint, bar five that have been repainted. The carcass has been made later and painted blue at some point, rather agriculturally, to be honest. Its shelves slope backwards slightly to hold the drawers in. We've made a top plank for it out of a piece of antique mahogany, which gives it a more elegant look, we think. It'll easily unscrew if you don't like it. We've put no finish on the top at all: partly because the colour is such a good match as it is, but also in case you want to paint it. We'll happily oil it if required but it will get darker.

condition
Condition is pretty good: structurally it's sound and the drawers all pull fine, if a little stiff here and there. There are lots of bumps and scrapes on this piece as you might expect in an industrial piece of this age. Some light rust on the drawers. One or two are a bit rusty inside (see pics) and there are some bent handles. Five of the drawers have been painted over in a copper coloured spray paint. There's a bit of old rot in the back bottom right corner; not really bad enough to replace though and it's all dry now.
