This lovely pair of bedsides were made by F. S. Gill & Sons who were based on Chapel St, South Yarra at the time.  The original purchase receipts with the monthly payment details and receipts in their original folder was in one of the drawers (I placed a cover over the name of the purchaser) … and I thought we kept receipts for way too long!

👉 Condition overview; such a beautifully made pair!  They are both solid and sturdy and the drawers all run seamlessly.  They display general wear consistent with age and use but no major damage to note.  They appear to have been joined at some point, hence marks to the inside facing sides of each  

👉 Dimensions; 390mm wide x 450mm deep x 695mm high
