Chest of Teak Drawers by Herbert E Gibbs 1960s

A superb quality piece of mid century furniture made by British manufacturer Herbert E Gibbs. The quality of G PLAN and the like but produced in much smaller quantities by a much smaller firm, therefore much less common!

With sleek minimalist design and solid construction, this piece consists of four long spacious storage drawers sitting on tapering legs capped with heavy brass feet, the original brass drawers knobs are also still intact. The drawers are framed with a brass inlay finishing the whole piece off beautifully!

The woods are Teak and Tola and as you can see give a satisfying and striking appearance.

The maker’s mark is still in place on the back of the drawers.

The drawer interiors are clean and are clothes ready!

This handsome chest of drawers has clearly been well looked after and shows only minimal wear and tear considering its age, the worst being a faint scratch to the third drawer front.

An all round marvellous Mid-century Modern Chest that would look great in any room!

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 carefully read the details and examine the images prior to purchase. All our items have been thoroughly cleaned and de-greased, re-oiled and polished (where necessary) and are fit for purpose. If you’re unsure, or would like some more information, please contact us, we’re always happy to help.
