A Beautiful antique H. Gerstner & Sons oak machinist tool chest featuring seven drawers, a lift-top storage compartment, front drop panel/work surface and the classic Gerstner diamond-shaped mirror.

This chest has been professionally restored by an individual with over 35 years of furniture restoration experience. The restoration was completed with great care to preserve the chest’s original antique character and craftsmanship while enhancing its beauty and functionality.

All parts and hardware are original to this chest, including the carrying handle, H. Gerstner & Sons lock, key, latches, drawer pulls, metal corner hardware, mirror and interior components. The green felt lining is new and was replaced as part of the professional restoration. The felt is the only replacement material on the chest.

The quarter-sawn oak displays beautiful grain throughout, and the restored finish highlights the character of the wood while retaining the look and feel of an antique working machinist chest. The original metal hardware shows appropriate age and patina that complements the warm oak beautifully.

The chest includes seven graduated drawers lined in green felt, along with the spacious felt-lined upper compartment. The removable front panel opens to provide access to the drawers and creates a convenient work surface when lowered. The original key is included.

Approximate overall measurements with the chest closed:

20” wide
12 1/2” high
9 1/4” deep

This is a wonderful example of an antique H. Gerstner & Sons machinist chest and would make an impressive addition to a machinist tool collection, workshop, office or antique collection. It also offers beautiful and functional storage for precision tools, watches, jewelry, collectibles or other small items.
