Vintage 1950s Oak Utility Tallboy Dresser

This British-made, dark oak piece is a vintage catch. Dating from the 1950s, it comes with bags of old-fashioned charm and character and it has much to offer – there is a huge amount of practical storage within this tallboy cabinet, comprised of upper drawers and a lower cupboard. The design is post-war, unfussy and utilitarian, but this makes it an easy piece to slot into a mixed style home. It’s not CC41 stamped although it is a ‘Commodity Controlled’ design (so made to comply with the war-time and post-war austerity scheme). We believe it was most likely made just after 1951 when the CC41 regulations ended. Solidly crafted in oak, this piece has lasted a lifetime but has many more years of service to go.

Description

This original, used piece is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good, vintage condition. It has been checked and cleaned inside and out but otherwise the finish is original and as such it comes with some superficial marks, scuffs and blemishes which can be seen across our photos. The two drawers slide with ease, are very well-made with dovetail joints and have clean, tidy interiors with just light signs of use. The lower double door cupboard also has a clean interior, along with a fixed ply wood shelf. The doors are securely attached with hinges, handles and closures in good working order. The original varnish finish on the exterior surfaces is a little patchy but overall it’s minor and in line with its considerable age. It is well-made and dates from the early-mid fifties, just past the CC41 scheme ended. It is solid and stable with no repairs or areas of concern. Our photos give an accurate account of this piece. However, if you have any queries, or would like to view this piece, please do get in touch.
