This Edwardian Wellington chest is made from warm brown mahogany with satinwood crossbanding and stringing inlay along the drawers and side stiles. The tall vertical stack comprises seven mahogany-lined drawers, each fitted with small round brass knob handles. A moulded edge tops the piece above a line-inlaid frieze, and the right-hand stile is hinged as a locking bar. The structure stands on a shaped plinth base. Practical for use as a narrow chest of drawers in a bedroom or a gentleman's library, the unit measures 122 cm high, 61 cm wide, and 42 cm deep. The compact footprint suits placement against various wall spaces in a home interior today to hold smaller personal items.

FAQs

Named after the 1st Duke of Wellington, a Wellington chest is a tall, narrow piece of storage furniture featuring a single vertical column of drawers secured by a side-locking bar mechanism.

Edwardian examples were predominantly constructed from mahogany, walnut, or satinwood, often featuring decorative timber stringing, veneer crossbanding, and hand-dovetailed drawer linings.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, historical wear to the drawer runners, original timber backboards, and a characteristic hinged side flap that swings over the drawer edges to lock them into place.

Due to its slender vertical proportion, a Wellington chest fits effectively into narrow alcoves, hallways, or study corners, where it can be styled with a table lamp and framed artwork.

Dust the timber surfaces regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year to maintain the luster and protect the mahogany finish.
