Aalto chest of drawers?  

Wow
That is a beautiful piece. Would love to know more about it myself.

REALLY handsome--
I agree. (Which doesn't mean I can be of any help, unfortunately.)

There is another thread
About an Aalto chest. Can't remember if the design is the same, but you may want to search for it.

Definitely Aalto
IIRC its illustrated in 'The Flat Book' (Martin & Speight, 1939). Big retailers of Aalto furniture in the 30s such as Bowmans of Camden Town and Heals routinely removed the plastic Finmar labels, Bowmans would even ink stamp Aalto pieces with their own name.

That's a
beauty, regardless of who designed it. What is the veneer on the drawer fronts, birdseye maple? It's stunning.

Wow, thanks!
Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I think it's really handsome too. Riki, yes i'm pretty sure it is maple (that is what I was told when I bought it too).
Thanks for the confirmation Paulanna, that's great to hear as I know you are clued up on this period. I've not heard of that book before so I will have to try to get hold of a copy (a quick Google search for it doesn't look promising). Do you have the book? If you are able to find it in your book and confirm for sure that it is Aalto that would be fantastic.
Thanks again everyone,
Ben.

The wood is birch. I do have the book somewhere - when i get a chance I'll dig it out and give you the reference.

Thanks Paulanna
Thanks, that would be great.
I did find this Aalto chest: http://www.twentytwentyone.com/displayProduct.asp?ProductID=3025&x=910
Which looks very similar, but the handles are different and my drawers slide right into the carcass as opposed to the front panels overlapping the front of the carcass as they appear to do on this example.

A gratuitous bump
but Paulanna, did you have a chance to dig out the book with the reference to the chest of drawers?
Many thanks,
Ben.
