A9128 Large Pristine Victorian Cedar Five-Drawer Chest — Circa 1900.
Extensively restored this exceptional Victorian cedar chest has been carefully revived for another century of enjoyment. It features a traditional hand-finished French polish, five fully restored hand-dovetailed drawers, and beautifully figured natural timber.
Features
Solid Australian cedar construction
Traditional high-gloss shellac and beeswax finish
Five fully restored, hand-dovetailed cedar drawers
Original cedar drawer handles
Original brass keyhole escutcheon plates
Original brass drawer locks (No key included).
All new drawer runners and replacement stops
New drawer guides (where required - most drawers).
Turned cedar legs with new anti-scratch pads
Original dust panels/shelves below each drawer.
Original backboards retained
Generous storage capacity
High build quality (double the usually amount of dovetails used to construct each drawer).
Restoration and condition
The original cedar-plank sides, top and drawer fronts are in excellent condition, with no significant dents. All five drawers have been re-glued and re-nailed where required, with their bases refitted to restore strength, close gaps and eliminate rattling. They sit straight and flush and operate smoothly on their new runners and are very well constructed (thicker than standard carcasses/framing and drawer bases).
The original drawer rails and guides remain in very good condition and have been re-glued and re-screwed where necessary. The result is a beautifully restored Victorian cedar chest with excellent structural integrity, striking timber figuring and substantial practical storage.
