A lovely oak chest of drawers of small proportions (aprox 34" wide)with a centre door inlaid with a compass motif. These chests originated in the Norfolk area where this paticular form seems to have been used as a base for a napkin press and there is evidence of this here as the top has two 'V' shaped patches where perhaps a press was attached.
