With four practical drawers featuring attractive metal handles and ornate carvings, this painted French chest of drawers will make a useful addition to the bedroom, hallway or other family space.

The four ample drawers provide a good amount of storage space and the naturally grained top is ideal for a lamp, treasured photographs or a vase of fresh flowers.

We have restored this chest of drawers by stripping back the old finish by hand before applying a clear lacquer to the top for protection and to accentuate the beauty of the wood grain. The rest has been painted in a neutral grey colour, which provides a lovely contrast with the oak top and will fit with a variety of interiors. The construction of this piece is made up of a mixture of solid wood and veneered panels with plywood draw bases and backing.

This chest will bring a bit of French style wherever it is placed and make a welcome addition to any existing furniture.
