A9122 Restored Edwardian Kauri Five-Drawer Chest, c. 1910–1925

Completely restored from the ground up, this handsome Edwardian chest has been carefully rebuilt internally to provide excellent structural strength and smooth, reliable everyday function. Constructed from solid Kauri Pine and finished with a traditional hand-applied shellac French polish and beeswax finish, it combines original character with comprehensive professional restoration.

Features:

• Solid Kauri Pine construction

• Traditional shellac French-polish and beeswax finish

• Five fully restored hand-dovetailed drawers

• Very clean drawer interiors

• Original brass handles, keyholes and drawer locks

• New hardwood runners fitted to all five drawers

• Completely new internal drawer rails and side guides

• Rebuilt plinth base with anti-scratch pads

• New timber cross-members beneath the larger drawers for additional load-bearing strength

Restoration and condition: The chest has been completely rebuilt internally, with new drawer rails, side guides and internal blocking installed. Each drawer has been fitted with new hardwood runners, while the original drawer bases have been refitted and re-nailed. The drawers now sit correctly and open and close smoothly and securely. Hairline cracks to the side panels and top have been carefully repaired with high-strength compound before the traditional French-polish finish was applied.
