Hand-painted English chest of drawers in maritime/Royal Navy style, H.S.M. Merlin, vintage 1972. Very good overall condition for its age, beautiful original red handles, quality central painting of a sailboat, gold inscriptions "H.S.M. Merlin" on the top. I can deliver it to the foot of your house or building for 40 euros if you live in the southern and western areas of department 75, 78 near Paris, or 92.
4 drawers, in very good condition, dark green (bottle) in color with gold/green patterns of laurel branches. The hand-painted decoration depicts a large sailing ship (square-rigged three-masted) sailing, with British flags (Union Jack and Red Ensign). All framed in a rounded medallion. On the top surface, golden letters inscription “H.M.S. MERLIN” surrounded by floral patterns. Frames and base in reddish-brown stained wood (mahogany style). Inscriptions on the back including “S.E.P 1972” or “S.C.P.” and date of 1972.
Dimensions: Height = 85.6 cm, Width 70.5 cm, Depth 52.5 cm. Drawer width 62 cm with 45 cm depth. 4 drawers of different heights: 15.5 cm (inside 13.5 cm), 18 cm (inside 14 cm), 19 cm (inside 15 cm), 20 cm (inside 16 cm).
The handles are large bright red turned wood knobs, very characteristic of the "folk" or "painted furniture" style of the 70s-80s. There are some signs of wear on the paint (chipping, paint marks, wear on the handles), but the structure of the furniture is in very good condition. The lock is not functional; it serves as decoration.
It is a medium-sized, compact chest of drawers, easy to place (ideal for a bedroom, hallway, entryway, or office). It is not too imposing while offering good storage capacity with its 4 drawers.
English furniture, made in England/Great Britain. Folk art/shabby chic decor with nautical-themed or maritime painted furniture.
HMS Merlin is the name borne by several Royal Navy ships over the centuries (14 in total). The chest of drawers likely references one of the sloops from 1796, a 16-gun corvette from the 18th century, a three-masted ship with auric and square sails, launched in June 1796 at Deptford, ~300 tons, broken up in 1803, which distinguished itself in 1798 during the Battle of St. George’s Caye (Belize): it commanded a small motley fleet that repelled a much larger Spanish attack, saving the British colony of Honduras. It also captured several merchant ships in the West Indies.
