Mid Century G Plan Tallboy Chest of Drawers

1 / 11

Stunning Mid Century G Plan Tallboy Chest of Drawers, a true classic of British design from the renowned E. Gomme furniture company. Dating from the 1960s, this tall, elegant chest is part of G Plan’s iconic Brandon range, celebrated for its clean lines and refined proportions.

Crafted from rich, warm teak veneer with a subtle golden grain, the chest offers six smoothly running drawers stacked vertically - ideal for compact spaces that need extra storage without compromising on style. The standout feature is the set of original brass drop handles, which contrast beautifully with the wood’s natural tone.

This tallboy is perfect for use in a bedroom, hallway, or dressing room, offering generous storage for clothing, accessories, linens or even paperwork. The vertical format makes it a great option where floor space is at a premium, while the restrained mid-century aesthetic ensures it blends seamlessly into both period and modern interiors.

G-Plan was a pioneering British furniture brand launched in the 1950s by E. Gomme Ltd of High Wycombe. Known for bringing Scandinavian influences to the British high street, G Plan pieces are now design classics, admired for their quality construction and understated, modern style. The Brandon range, one of their earlier and most iconic lines, helped set the tone for post-war modernism in UK interiors.

In very good vintage condition with minor signs of age-related wear, consistent with its 60+ years of life. All drawers run smoothly, and the brass handles retain their original charm and patina.

Designer Spotlight

Mid Century G-plan Form 5 Low Teak Media Unit / Sideboard

R. Bennett Quadrille & Form 5 Designer

R. Bennett was a British furniture designer whose work for G-Plan in the mid-to-late 1960s demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of Scandinavian modernism. His first major range, Quadrille, launched in 1964-65 with sculptural sleigh legs, angular handles, and teak paired with rosewood or afromosia detailing. The range was relatively short-lived, withdrawn after G-Plan’s Fresco range launched in 1967, making Quadrille pieces less common than other G-Plan furniture from the era.

Bennett’s second range, Form 5, launched in 1967 with a more minimalist, modular approach. The collection featured interlocking wall units, brass drop handles, and distinctive purple velvet-lined drawers, offering practical storage solutions for smaller British homes. Both ranges showed Bennett’s skill at adapting Scandinavian design principles to British manufacturing, creating furniture that worked as well functionally as it looked aesthetically.
