About the Item

This is a fabulous vintage oak English Wellington chest, late 20th century date. The piece is made from beautiful oak which has a stunning grain and colour, and features a collectors drawer at the top with six full size drawers below. It is a lovely chest which would be ideal for any room in your home. With working locks and the original four keys. Condition: In excellent condition. As a vintage item, the piece shows signs of use commensurate with age, these minor condition issues are mentioned for accuracy and, as seen in the accompanying photographs, it displays beautifully. Dimensions in cm: Height 158 x Width 67 x Depth 52 Dimensions in inches: Height 5 foot, 2 inches x Width 2 foot, 2 inches x Depth 1 foot, 8 inches Wellington Chest is one of the most famous pieces of campaign furniture, which was named after the 1st Duke of Wellington. The campaign furniture were made for travel so they had to be very compact and practical. They are recogniseable because they had to be easy to dismantle and fold. This type of chest was first seen in the 1820's and is characterised by their tall narrow shape, and usually with a locking flap on one side, which when closed, prevents any of the drawers from opening. They continued to be made in the Victorian period. Some had a fitted secretaire occupying two drawer heights, but these are not considered as desirable as the all-drawer model. Due to their compact size, Wellington chests are keenly sought and command high prices. Watch for secretaire versions that have been converted back to full-drawer models, the give-away being the new drawer linings in two of the drawers. Our reference: A3374
