A9066 - Restored Edwardian Red Cedar Five Drawer Chest. Circa 1900. Completely stripped back, steamed to lift all dents, then restored and finished with a traditional French polish, this immaculate old chest features.
Solid Red Cedar construction.
Traditional shellac and beeswax finish.
Five structurally flawless, as new functioning hand-dovetailed drawers.
Spotlessly clean internal drawer surfaces (original Cedar crossmembers to underside of bases). 
Original turned Cedar handles complete with original Cedar screws.
All original twin-pin, brass drawer locks and keyholes.
All new hardwood drawer runners.
New internal drawer guides (where required).
New replacement drawer stops (where required).
Original turned legs fitted with new anti-scratch pads.
Stunning woodgrain features.
Overall, an exceptional example from the Edwardian era. All five drawers are structurally excellent with no pre-existing repairs and have been reglued and re-nailed where required. Refitted and re-nailed original Cedar drawer bases to close up all gaps from natural shrinkage over time. New solid oak drawer runners installed to all five drawers. The original internal Cedar drawer rails are in very good condition (minimal wear) and have been re--nailed and re-glued. All drawers sit straight and flush and function seamlessly (like new). The solid Cedar drawer fronts, Cedar plank sides and top are in pristine condition, free from cracks, splits and dents. All original tongue and groove back boards in perfect order also.
