A Mid-20th Century Art Deco Style Walnut Veneered Five-Drawer Tallboy
Description
This mid-20th century tallboy chest of drawers is designed in the Art Deco style, featuring a graduated arrangement of five drawers. Each drawer front is faced with book-matched figured walnut veneers, displaying a symmetrical V-shaped grain pattern. The drawers are housed within a lighter-toned hardwood frame, likely beech or oak. The hardware configuration is distinctive; the second drawer from the top is fitted with a single large central metal pull mounted on a decorative cloud-shaped wooden backplate. The remaining four drawers each feature a pair of horizontal handles with cream-coloured central grips and metal end caps. The unit is supported by a stepped plinth base with bracket-style feet. Internal drawer construction, including joinery details such as dovetails, is not visible in the provided imagery. A small white rectangular label is present on the front-left edge of the second drawer, though the markings are not clearly legible.
