Draper Reclaimed Elm Chest of Drawers Solid Wood Storage Cabinet

Reclaimed elm, ring pull handles, genuine aged grain and natural markings across 160cm — the Draper chest where the timber's history is the design.

Reclaimed elm is one of the most visually compelling timbers available in furniture — the rich, deep grain, warm amber and brown tonal variation and the natural markings left by decades of previous life in a structure give each plank a character and individuality that new timber simply cannot replicate. The Draper brings that material quality to a 160cm chest at 70kg, the drawers laid out across a balanced configuration that provides generous bedroom storage, and the wide top surface at 91cm offering the display space for a lamp, a mirror and considered accessories that a narrower chest at this height cannot. Ring pull handles add a classic hardware note in quiet contrast to the characterful timber.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The natural markings in reclaimed elm — the colour variation, the knots, the occasional groove or patina mark from the timber's previous use — are the qualities that make every Draper genuinely unique and genuinely different from a chest made with new timber. What might read as imperfection in a new plank reads as character and authenticity in reclaimed material, and elm specifically carries a depth of grain and warmth of colour that no amount of staining or ageing treatment can replicate in new wood. At 160cm wide the Draper has the presence of a serious piece of bedroom furniture, and at 70kg it has the solidity to match.
