{"product_id":"vatm-vinterior-79489120","title":"Lebus Teak and Ebonised Two-Drawer Chest, early 1960s","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking early 1960s chest of drawers by Lebus Furniture, clearly labelled and retaining its original maker’s badge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a standard mid-century chest — it sits firmly within that early 1960s transitional moment when British makers were experimenting with bolder, more architectural forms. The contrast between the warm teak veneer and the deep ebonised upper drawer creates a graphic, almost Brutalist visual rhythm, softened by the elegant grain and slender metal legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elongated rectangular pulls reinforce the linear aesthetic, while the elevated stance gives the piece a light, floating quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth drawers are traditionally constructed with dovetail joints — a strong indicator of quality manufacturing and durability. The proportions are compact yet impactful, making this ideal for bedroom storage, hallway placement or as a low statement piece within a modern interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStyle \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarly 1960s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritish Modernism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeak Veneer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEbonised Drawer Front\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid Timber Drawer Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetal Legs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDovetail Joints\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Lebus badge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraphic black and teak contrast\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchitectural proportions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaised floating form\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional dovetail joinery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition. • Structurally solid throughout • Drawers run smoothly • Dovetail joints intact and strong • Light surface wear consistent with age • Metal legs show age-appropriate patina The finish presents beautifully with a warm, even tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions as listed: W 77 × H 63.5 × D 42 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage at the Mill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58945904804221,"sku":"79489120","price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/5317\/7246\/files\/early-1960s-lebus-two-drawer-chest-teak-and-ebonised-front-architectural-modernist-design-sku79489120_0_f57c6eb1-2c11-4b5c-8d9d-91542783e47a.jpg?v=1792540566","url":"https:\/\/timelessinnovation.co.uk\/products\/vatm-vinterior-79489120","provider":"Timeless Innovation UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
