This characterful bank of sixteen drawers dates from the nineteenth century and is English or Welsh, sourced from the Welsh borders. It was almost certainly of workshop or merchant origin. Banks of this form were commonly used for storing seeds, hardware, haberdashery and shop sundries before they found favour as domestic furniture.
Of simple plank construction, the carcase houses sixteen drawers arranged in four rows of four, each fitted with a small brass knob. Its shallow depth suggests it was made to stand on a counter or bench, or to hang on a wall, keeping its contents close at hand.
The whole retains its original green-painted surface. It now bears an honest patina of age-related wear, with the darker ground showing through at the edges and drawer fronts. That wear speaks of a long working life and gives the piece considerable decorative charm.
Painted vernacular furniture in untouched original surface is increasingly sought after, and pieces of this scale are highly versatile. It would suit a kitchen, hallway, study, studio or workshop equally well, offering practical storage with genuine folk art appeal.
Provenance: Sourced from the Welsh borders.
Material: Pine, with its original green-painted surface; brass knobs.
Condition: Commensurate with age and use. The original painted surface shows wear consistent with its working history, notably to the edges and drawer fronts. Please refer to the images. A further detailed condition report is available on request.
