Herbert E. Gibbs Oak Chest of Drawers

Price £250

Such a sweet set of drawers, small but perfectly proportioned.

The old wax and polish build-up was carefully removed to reveal the warmth and detail of the natural grain beneath. This piece required gentle hand sanding throughout, along with subtle veneer repairs and a slight adjustment to one leg to bring it back into alignment.

Finished with a light oil and softly buffed with wax, the result is a calm, natural look that lets the timber speak for itself — all carried out with a sympathetic approach to preserve its original charm.

A lovely example of mid-century modern design, now rehomed and taking pride of place in a guest bedroom.
