Description
Vintage mid century tall haberdashery cabinet, cotton reel shop display chest of drawers, made in the 1950s probably. There are thirteen shallow drawers with glass fronts, brass handles and sectioned interiors. Below that is an extending flap with "Colour Range Panel" engraved on it. Unfortunately the 'colour range panel' itself is missing. At the base there are two doors which open onto two more drawers, quite deep this time, presumably for stock storage originally. There are four short tapering feet at the bottom. The construction is plywood with beech veneer, with the frame front and drawer fronts being solid beech. The drawers were made to hold cotton reels and have a lot of their dividers still in place: all of the front-back ones, while a lot of the side-to-side ones have been removed. They'll all come out if preferred, being just glued in place.

declaration
Barnaby's of Battle has clarified that the Vintage Haberdasher's Display Drawers 1950s (LA489033) is genuinely of the period declared with the date/period of manufacture being 1950's
condition
Condition is pretty good structurally: it's all solid enough and the drawers all work nicely. One drawer front is a bit bowed but not too bad. The bottom third of back panel has been replaced. Cosmetically, while the overall look is pleasing yet worn (mostly through the varnish being rubbed through here and there), there are some fairly significant scratches to the top and right side (see pics). We've improved those with a coat of finishing oil: the whole piece could be stripped, sanded and refinished (or at least the body) but I don't think that's really necessary: most of the beauty is in the front and it'd be difficult to sand without damaging the veneer.
