Made in walnut, the drawers display a beautifully figured grain across the fronts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe chest is fitted with six drawers and stands on gently tapering legs. The drawers are finished with lovely turned wooden pulls set into subtle brass backplates, a small but thoughtful detail that reflects the care with which these pieces were made. The drawers run smoothly and the overall construction feels solid and well considered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example has been owned by the same person since new and has clearly been well looked after.

Evans \u0026amp; Sons, a British manufacturer active in the mid-20th century. Much of the company’s work was designed by Peter Hayward, whose designs helped position Vanson at the more refined end of British furniture production. Influenced by Scandinavian modernism, their furniture combined clean proportions with careful craftsmanship and was often retailed through Heal’s, which championed contemporary British design during the period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA practical and well-made piece that sits comfortably within both modern and midcentury interiors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight: 120 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth: 77 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDepth: 47 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImages accurately depict the colour, wood grain and overall condition of the piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"a fold of chairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57793652130176,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/3093\/files\/A046C687-CC8F-434F-8BB5-49855CBACFBA.png?v=1775205878","url":"https:\/\/www.afoldofchairs.com\/products\/1950s-walnut-chest-of-drawers-by-vanson-uk","provider":"a fold of chairs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
