Description

From the Head of Science, this rather wonderful and impressive set of school drawers are from the School of St Marys and St Annes - so good to know where pieces like this were once used. It is without doubt a striking set of 16 drawers – large enough to impress but small enough to place practically.

We have four flights of four graduated drawers with a decent sized plinth all in nicely aged English oak and running smoothly. The top is a decent slice of aged teak – a pleasing contrast. We have genuine aging and marks to drawers and the top but nothing nasty or new. We have waxed the runners on the drawers, the back is original, good and as it should be. We have an aged split to the right hand side but again not new, nasty or a concern. Clean inside and smells fine! Overall it’s a rather tremendous piece. Worth noting these pieces are getting more difficult to find of this scale and with the bonus of provenance…

Worth remembering this one even with the drawers out is very heavy and we have assigned a two person carrier with this piece however even then a little guidance placing the piece would be required.

A superb piece of English school furniture.
