Vintage 1960s Mahogany & Rosewood Tallboy Chest of Drawers by Uniflex

As chest of drawers go, this one is pretty special and something of a rarity. A seldom seen, 1960s design by British maker, Uniflex, it features a two-tone front, using the mahogany and rosewood grains to make a big visual impact. It’s one of those pieces that looks of its day and modern at the same time. Elevated on long, elegant legs, it creates space around an otherwise substantial piece of furniture. We love the small silver handles too. Tallboys are excellent storage options for rooms where wall space is at a premium. Because they go up rather than along they’re a smart use of space, maxing out of height but not compromising on storage. A very fine piece of handsome British midcentury design and one for collectors. This is a keeper.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in overall very good, used condition. It has been thoroughly cleaned and a natural beeswax polish applied to the exterior wood but otherwise the original finish is in tact, such is its fantastic order. All six drawers are slide with ease, are constructed with dovetail joints and have clean, tidy interiors. Their original handles are securely attached and the Uniflex logo is in the base of the top drawer. There are some minor, light scuffs and knocks to the external wood here and there but these are line with the piece’s age. There is nothing specific to flag. It’s an expertly crafted piece of a very high quality construction.
