These chests were made for Ray Leigh by craftsman M Hubbard. They come with Leigh's personal drawing plans for the chests which are under a drawer base and each has the hand signed Gordon Russell makers labels.

Superbly crafted as you can imagine, with solid yew wood exposed finger joint construction to the cabinet work, a select choice of book match veneers which compliments each cabinet.

Overall in very good clean original condition, there have been well looked after. There are some light surface marks and minor nibbles in places commensurate with age. The brass handles are of good design and have a rich patina to them. One of the chests is of a very slightly different shade to the other.

The drawers sides and backs are made in solid oak with finger joint construction to the sides of the drawers. There all work well and are very clean to the insides. The chests sit on nylon feet protectors.
