Considered “too cold” by Britain's post-war middle classes, aluminium furniture never really took off . As a result, it's now rare and highly collectable. Designed by PB COW and Made by Huntingdon Aviation Ltd, England.

bold deco design
Curved amber-coloured handles contrast well against the textured, grooved metal drawers. The interiors of the drawers are lined with a lovely cherry-red felt.
The 3 sections of engine turned aluminium (2 side units with drawers and a central drawer ) can be easily dismantled and screwed together; ideal as a deco-stye dressing table or as stunning bedside cabinets.
condition
Makers and manufacturers mark visible in the top drawer. A few dinks and some wear to the patina of the aluminium.
