Vintage Esavian James Leonard School Drawers 2211g
IN STOCK: Regular price £1,395.00
A scarcely seen Mid Century chest of school drawers designed by James Leonard in the early 1950's for Esavian (ESA) The Educational Supply Association.
– Excellent restored condition
A very versatile piece of storage with twenty equally sized drawers (back when class sizes were smaller!) with striking cutaway handles and iconic splayed legs.
The carcass of this beautiful piece of furniture is constructed from beech, the drawers are all solid beech.
A stunning example of Mid Century furniture, and one of our absolute favourites.
We have painstakingly restored these drawers back to their beautiful original character. Any structural work has been carried out where required such as loose or new drawer runners, leg joints etc. They have then been sanded back and oiled resulting in a stunning piece with a rich, warm finish.
Condition
These drawers are vintage and have had years of use in schools by children so they do come with imperfections. They will have marks, polished in scratches, nics and the odd dink here and there... which add to their character, vintage appeal and gives a unique aged look - something that new furniture cannot replicate!
