Crafted in the 1920s, complete with functioning locks and key, this piece offers four generous, dovetailed drawers — two smaller over two full-width. Each drawer is framed by carved bamboo-form moldings along both the drawer faces and the corner columns. Honestly aged, the richly figured pine provides a luminous backdrop that deepens with age. Dark patinated knob pulls and oval escutcheon offer a studied contrast, grounding the composition with understated hardware of the period. The piece rests on four sturdy, well-balanced square block feet, while the slightly aged top surface speaks authentically to a century of careful use. Ensuring functionality, the drawers and portions of the back paneling have been reconstructed. See less
