Vintage French Oak Drawer Cabinet / Plan Chest / Kitchen Island – 1950s

French drawer cabinet dating from the 1950s, with storage on both sides.

One side has five wide drawers with a false drawer front above. The opposite side has two smaller drawers at the top.

The cabinet has an oak frame with plywood panels. The drawers are made from pine and beech wood and fitted with metal cup handles.

The wood has a warm, natural colour with visible grain, marks and wear from previous use.

With its large worktop and drawers accessible from both sides, the cabinet would work well as a kitchen island. It could also be used as a plan chest or workshop storage cabinet.

Condition
