Vintage 1950s Stag C Range Walnut Chest of Drawers by John & Sylvia Reid

This is one of those pieces that looks both midcentury and contemporary – and that’s classic, timeless design. Designed by power couple, John and Sylvia Reid for Stag in the 1950s, this is from their C range. The Australian walnut makes a refreshing change from teak and the rich, dark grain is striking across the exterior surfaces. The overall design is refined, clean-lined and minimalist with long, lower recessed handles. We love the black trim framing the front, echoed in the drawer handle insets and tapered legs. It creates a subtle note of distinction. Plentiful storage across three generous drawers, a lovely slice of midcentury with great provenance that will mix and match with other furniture.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in very good, used condition. We have cleaned the piece inside and out, and exterior surfaces have been restored. This involved carefully stripping back the original finish, oil and then wax polish. We have also sprayed the trim, legs and inset drawer handles as to restore it to its original matt black glory. The three drawers are constructed with dovetail joints, integral handles and they slide with ease. They have clean interiors. The exterior surfaces are in very good order, following their restoration. There are light signs of wear and tear in line with the item’s considerable age. The original Stag maker’s label can be seen inside the top drawer.
