These drawers came to NZ in the 1950's & ended up in St Anthony’s Convent, Huntly. When the Convent was moved in the 80's, they were relegated to a tool shed - where they remained until last year.

They are rustic & clearly had a tough life but have been beautifully revived & are ready to last another 50+ years.

Although these drawers are now clean & gleaming, none of their history has been erased. All the dings, dents, gaps, old nail holes & all the other signs you would expect after 40 rough years in a shed - have been embraced & mostly left in place so as to show it's story.

As is to be expected, it has had borer at some stage but it's long gone - there was a disintigrating sticker stating it had been treated in 1979. Amazingly, just 1 small area was ever affected & that has been embraced too and not covered in the restoration - as it's all part of it's colourful past. As it's been 40+ years, Franklin Furniture Restoration applied another borer treatment but as it technically wasn't needed - it was applied as a preventative rather than a curative!

The sides and feet are painted in a gorgeous dusky linen colour.

Although this would look fabulous in your bedroom, it would make an even better hall table or buffet / dresser.
