A really characterful antique Victorian pine chest of drawers with fantastic provenance, stencilled to the back and the bottom in bold Gothic lettering is "Selwyn College A12", marking this as former furniture from Selwyn College, Cambridge. Most likely a student's room chest, dating to the late 19th century when the college was founded (1882).
The classic 2-over-3 drawer arrangement sits on turned bun feet, with turned period wooden knobs throughout. One is a slightly different colour to the rest but they look suitable for the chest. Solid and well-built as you'd expect from the period, all five drawers running well. Plenty of honest wear, old repairs and marks consistent with its age and history, all part of the story. A lovely genuine Victorian pine chest with an interesting history and in a later ebonised finish.
Dimensions: 91cm tall x 89cm wide x 50cm deep
