Lime washed drawers

Edwardian furniture is known for its balanced proportions and practical design, making it just as useful today as when it was first made. Chests of drawers like this were built to provide everyday storage, and their simple layout continues to suit modern homes.

The lime-washed finish has given this piece a fresh look while allowing the original mouldings and verdigris brass handles to remain an important part of its appearance. The three deep drawers provide plenty of storage for clothing, linens or household essentials, making it a useful addition to bedrooms, hallways or living rooms.

Whether paired with antique furniture or more contemporary pieces, this is the sort of storage that settles naturally into a home and continues to earn its place through everyday use.

The lime-washed finish has been applied and sealed with a matt lacquer. Some slight veneer lifting on one side. As with all genuine antique furniture, this piece displays age-related wear, marks and a natural patina that reflect its age and use. Please refer to the photographs as they form part of the description.

We liked the balance between the original Edwardian details and the softer lime-washed finish. It gives the drawers a lighter look without losing what made the piece worth saving in the first place. The verdigris handles were another detail we were keen to keep.
