A trio of mixed furniture items comprising a nineteenth-century style chest of drawers, a mid-century modern style nest of three tables, and an empty maritime style storage chest. The chest of drawers is constructed with flame mahogany veneers to the drawer fronts and a solid wood top, featuring four long drawers with turned wooden knobs and hand-cut dovetail joinery. The nest of three tables is made from a dark-stained wood, possibly teak, with rectangular tops featuring raised trough edges on minimalist frames. The storage chest is a rustic pine or camphor wood maritime style trunk, featuring heavy black-painted iron corner bracing and side carrying handles. The lid is fitted with a recessed brass campaign style handle, which is secured with four cross-head screws. The interior of the storage chest is finished in a vibrant green paint. A white adhesive label reading K12995 is present on the chest of drawers and the lid of the storage chest.
