A good quality pair of late 19th century solid mahogany collector’s or specimen chests with trade label for ‘David Souttar of Aberdeen’. Each with a moulded top above five finely dovetailed drawers with original ornate brass handles and escutcheons and fitted with working ‘secure lever’ locks, standing on a plinth base with shaped front.

In good condition with good colour & grain, minor marks consistent with age, the drawers open and close smoothly, one chest has a very small chip and watermark which we will take out, the other is slightly lighter from the sun. These could also be useful for filing purposes.
