70s Teak Schreiber Chest of Six Drawers

Sorry, this item has sold.

Our photos show a mid century chest of six drawers by British manufacturer Schreiber. If you look closely you will not only notice the Schreiber stamp ( inside on the base of the top two drawers) but the rounded drawer backs of each drawer which were synonymous with all Schreiber furniture.

The drawers are clean and run as they should, six in total giving an enormous amount of storage, the top two being less deep and the bottom one over deep, ideal for jumpers or bedding.

We have done our usual cleaning job and it is now polished and ready for use; there is some evidence of age and previous use - this is highlighted in some of the photos.

Schreiber began its success story in 1957 and it took no time at all for the brand to start competing with the established companies within the furniture industry. The company’s chests of drawers, aimed at the bedroom furniture market, were a superb example of the quality for which they became known.

New chests of drawers can often be mass-produced and do not have the history or the features of these vintage originals. By opting for a vintage piece you can add character and charm to any room in your home as well as help save the planet by not throwing perfectly useable furniture into landfill!

Their mid-century modern aesthetics makes them easy to pair with your current interior. These items do not have any outlandish detail, ornate features or curves that will clash with modern styles. They can create the perfect subtle contrast with your other furnishings.

Schreiber chests of drawers have been certainly stood the test of time. Whilst Schreiber is no longer an independent company, buying a piece by this heritage brand promises you a little slice of history. You can own one of the items produced when the business was leading the design movement in the UK.

Please bear in mind that all our vintage and retro items have had a life before you purchase them (sometimes quite a long one!) therefore they will show signs of wear and use. We never sell items that we wouldn’t be happy to have in our own homes and provide images detailing any significant damage or unusual wear. Please read the details and examine the images prior to purchase. If you’re unsure, or would like some more information, please contact us, we’re always happy to help.
