This Victorian mahogany Wellington chest was made circa 1865.

Wellington chests were named after a British hero of the Battle of Waterloo, The Duke of Wellington.

This style of chest was the first domestic office filing cabinets and the delightful, graduated drawers could be locked using 1 key, when the locking bar was closed.

The Wellington chest is a pleasing design as they are slim and have the graduated drawers.
