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.
