Show us your latest furniture acquisition, whether it's modern or antique, I'm quite sure we'd all love to see it.

Show us YOUR - Latest FURNITURE BUY, by Viking Surfer on Jul 4, 2016 21:01:23 GMT 1, I'll kickstart the thread with a chest of drawers I recently picked up.
I'm quite sure I overpaid but I fell in love with the set which date wise I place around the 1900's. They're well used and full of character.
Also reminded me of Harry Potter a little bit 
They're very tall and just pip me height wise at 2 metres.
Sadly the photos do not justice at all to the warm golden hues that each drawer carries.

This is beautiful.
I would dismiss any minor concerns about possibly overpaying. There can't be many on the market, in this particular style and in your vicinity, to allow for a credible price comparison. And I suspect you'll also own the cabinet for life.
What kind of wood is it?
Do you know the significance of the numbers and letters on some of the drawers? I'm assuming they aren't just decorative but relate to what the cabinet was originally used to file.

Thanks Met.
I believe it is pine. Its been well oiled / varnished over the years which is why I think each drawer changes colour so beautifully with the interplay of light.
I think it was used for some kind of document filling originally as the drawers had no backs? I had my brother put backs on them all so that the drawers are fully operational.
I could of course be wrong about the documents, I'm just trying to think what could be stored that would require no backing?

So I picked this up off the bay. It's a big decent size and has a pretty neat back story. It belonged to a Scottish officer 'Muir' based in Rangoon, the old capital of Burma. It was lined with Aluminium so his wife could send him Whiskey/Food etc. It has a few tatty luggage stickers from its travels still on there (Orient express, London etc).
If I have to buy something mundane, at least let it have character.

Picked this up off eBay a couple of months ago. It's an old town planning office set of drawers, which has cleaned up beautifully. It's a bit huge but at least all my art has a safe home now
