Description: | A late 17th Century oak chest of drawers. It has a rectangular two-plank moulded top above an arrangement of four long drawers each decorated with complex geometric applied mouldings and fitted with brass button handles.The chest of drawers was an evolution of the chest. The first drawers were a chest with lower drawers (the chest in the Louvre Room is a good example of this). Once this move was started, the benefits of not having to turn everything out to get to items on the bottom must have been very obvious. Following this the whole chest space was turned over to drawers. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
