House Note · About this piece

In Douarnenez, the old sardine port on the coast of Brittany, homes are kept snug against the Atlantic weather, and a good painted chest keeps the household in order: linens, sweaters, the spare blankets for when the weather turns. This chest is made for that everyday putting away. Its three wide drawers give folded things a home, and its layered blue finish has the weathered look of paint touched by years of salt air.

It is built from reclaimed timber, and the blue is rubbed back by hand in places to show soft grey and warm wood beneath. Raised mouldings frame each drawer front like a picture, and a linked pattern runs across the drawers as a decorative detail. At 49.5 inches wide and 34 inches high, its top is a handy height for a lamp and a tray.

Stand it in a bedroom with a mirror above and a dish for jewelry on top, or in an entry with keys, mail and a lamp, and gloves and scarves inside. It also makes a colourful sideboard in a small dining room, with napkins and candles in the drawers. This listing is for one chest.
