Herbert E Gibbs Tallboy/Chest Of Drawers Mid Century Vintage Retro MCM

A striking and well-crafted chest of drawers by Herbert E. Gibbs, a respected but lesser-known name in British mid century furniture. Active from the 1930s to the 1960s, Gibbs was known for producing high-quality pieces with refined proportions and minimalist detailing, often rivalling the likes of G Plan, but in much smaller production runs. As a result, his furniture is far rarer to find today and highly collectable.

This handsome chest, crafted from richly grained teak and tola veneers, features five full-width drawers.

Each drawer is finished with original solid brass knobs, while fine brass inlay surrounds the drawer fronts, adding a subtle elegance. The piece stands on gently tapered legs with heavy brass-capped feet, giving it a poised, architectural silhouette.

Herbert E. Gibbs trained as a cabinet maker at a technical college and also taught carpentry at a school. He founded Herbert E. Gibbs, a furniture manufacturing company in approximately the 1920s. The firm was based at De Beauvoir Road, London and later First Avenue, Montague Road, London. The firm produced furniture for domestic and commercial use. This was sold direct to the public and trade and through retailers across the UK, including Heals.
