Description
An arts and crafts "Scotch" type chest .
Hand beaten handles and back plates .
Great and unusual colour .Striking finish .
The wood appears to be Sweet Chestnut .Possibly fumed .
Small turned feet .
Sides held in place with three vertical supports .
No comparison can be found for this but one could elucidate ;
Possibly based on the Ambrose Heals St.Ives chest circa 1898 .
Probably made by the Guild of Handicraft or Heals .
Very unique chest with Guild of Handicraft hand made handles . Heals attribution .The style , together with identical handles can be seen on other Heals furniture
Previous owner wrote the drawer positions down the side of the drawers in pen .So this needs cleaning or sanding off .
Sold as found £550 .Unrestored .
Please note there was a company that also used handles like this and at a guess within the last fifty years .
The chest can be purchased for less than advertised provided you contact me to change the price .
I hope you have now read all of the above .
Condition report:
Pretty good condition ; currently as found . There are a few minor faults . Bottom left drawer rest needs clamping back and has an old repair . One foot has a slight split . The drawer runners have been crudely repaired despite the chest looking great in the photos the carcass ie interior requires tightening and straightening up etc . The finish looks great . A few drawers need some gluing as they are loose at the corner joints .Easily fixed . No keys for locks . No visible worm . Extremely heavy dense wood . Odd marks ; to be expected . One drawer front has a slight dent .Not too visible . Top appears to be slightly limed/weathered as do sides . Handles and back plates appear in good order . One replacement screw which can be replaced with a period screw . Still a great chest and all restoration fairly simple .Just time consuming . Drawer stops have been crudely repaired and will also need replacing or adjusting . So its the interior that needs the work . Exterior as one can judge from photos looks amazing .
Please bare all this in mind if you want at a discounted price .You need to message me first .

Cancellations and Returns
Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.
We've extended our usual return period for the holidays. Any purchases made in December 2023 on gifting items can be returned up until 31 January 2024.
To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.
If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item’s Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.
Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.
Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.
Can I cancel an order?
If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason that they do not want to purchase the Goods before the Goods have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.
The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the customer’s specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the costs of delivery are non-refundable.
To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.
Can I return an item?
Consumers based in the UK and European Union can request to return the Goods on Vinterior up to 14 days after the Goods have been received. Once accepted, the buyer is in charge of the shipment and should organise it as soon as possible (except in the case of a return of faulty Goods).
To initiate a return, the Customer must click on Create a return on the order page on the Site. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.
As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer’s specific requirements.
Additionally, the Customer may not return an item for "inaccurate listing” reason when its dimensions or other characteristics do not fit its requirements. We strongly recommend that buyer measures all access areas prior to making a purchase.
If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.
In case of a return, the costs of delivery (i.e., outbound delivery costs when Goods are sent from the Vendor to a Customer) are non-refundable.
The Customer is responsible for organising the return of Goods and for paying delivery costs. Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt and refund the Customer. If an item is returned to the seller damaged, or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund and the seller may have to send it back to you (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged in transportation or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
In case of damage in transit for all items, Vinterior must be informed. Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf the Vendor with delivery company Proovia. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if it has been altered by the Customer in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
Price match guarantee
If you find the same item listed at a lower price (including delivery) elsewhere, we'll match it for you.
