9 Drawer Tabletop Hardware Chest, American, 1930's

A small wooden hardware chest built with nine individual drawers, each fitted with a different mismatched pull fashioned from old hooks, screws, and hardware bits. The deep, worn patina and utilitarian construction speak to its original life as a shop or workbench organizer. A wonderfully characterful piece for storing small treasures or displaying as its own bit of functional folk art.
