Wondered if anyone could help. My husband is about to skip this set of drawers, but i thought i'd check first if anyone knew anything about them? I doubt they're worth anything but any information on the period would be interesting.

Thanks for everyone's contribution to the thread. (both serious and punny) I'll give the knobs a polish and see how they come up Grin

I gave a small, very old bookcase to Age UK and they sold it for £170 plus our gift aid.

I've always fancied a Chippendale 😁

Please don’t vandalise them by painting them grey with twatty crystal handles
sand and wax/varnish

By upcycling I meant stripping and waxing😊

Agree wood is solid oak.

Polishing knobs is a bit far for a first date. Call me old fashioned.
