Made by Papworth Industries and dated 1977, this is an ex MOD piece, made for military accommodation and barracks. The design is utilitarian and unfussy but this doesn’t mean it’s without character. The build quality of military furniture is, as you might expect, to a very high standard. It was made to last, robust and sturdy, crafted for high use. This dresser with its two-over-three drawers provides a huge amount of storage space. Its original, wipe-clean melamine top, white with a discreet leaf pattern across it, means it could be put to great use in a kitchen or utility at a height that you could comfortably stand at. The handles and finish here are all original. A cracking vintage piece with a great back story.
