More information
This model of a chest of drawers is found in two drawings by Josef Frank in the Svenskt Tenn archive with the inscription "Chest of drawers 100x78x50 mahogany with 6 drawers (locks) brass handles." Thus the present chest of drawers was probably made to order. The model no B 1109 from around 1941 is of similar design but has a shelf below.
