This is a useful antique mahogany music chest which dates to the Edwardian era. Originally designed for storing sheet music it could also be used for storing paperwork and stationery in an office or study. The chest is modestly sized and is set on block legs finished with castors and surrounding a small undertier. The front is fitted with five 'Stones Patented' fall front drawers which are finished with decorative drop handles. I have hand painted this piece in my own mix of water based black paint. The paintwork has been lightly distressed and then waxed for protection. The finish is solid colour and is fairly matt.
It measures
84cms high x 52cms wide x 38cms deep drawers measure 7cms high x 39cms wide x 30cms deep
In generally solid structural condition with minor marks of age and use and age. There are a couple of small repaired cracks to the bottom of two of the legs.
