The Retro Business

Description

A superb & rare Mid 20th Century six drawer chest in rosewood. Made by the renowned British furniture maker A. Younger Ltd. The chest is in very nice vintage condition with nothing of any significance to report. It has been sympathetically restored by us in that it has been cleaned inside and out & externally waxed and polished. The top drawer has, at some point, been lined with a wonderful 1960’s paper and we couldn’t bring ourselves to remove it - up to you! The high quality of this item ensures that it can only improve with time & it’s all ready for the next generation to enjoy.
The Retro Business evolved out of our love of auctions and our interest in interiors, furniture, art, textiles. We’ve been dealing for many years now. We love the clean lines, the craftsmanship and designs of the Mid 20th C but are also unable to resist the allure of ‘smart’ antique pieces, rustic country items, wonderful French gilt furniture, in fact anything that catches our eye. We’re firm believers that interiors should always be eclectic and that nothing works better than a mixture of periods in a room.
We sympathetically restore a lot of our items ourselves but in keeping with our ethos we will never ‘over restore’ or destroy a patina that has taken years to develop (i.e our French gilded items will proudly wear their signs of history but all joints will be sound & drawers will move well.)
We have met many wonderful customers through out the years and we love to be able to help so please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have something special you’d like us to keep an eye out for or if you have any questions.
