FAQs

A semainier is a traditional French chest of drawers featuring seven distinct drawers, historically designed to hold a weeks worth of clothing or linen with one drawer dedicated to each day.

Traditional semainiers are constructed using solid cherrywood or cherrywood veneers, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, cast brass escutcheons, brass drop handles, and solid timber back panels.

Authentic 19th-century French semainiers exhibit signs of hand-planed secondary timbers, hand-cast brass hardware, hand-cut dovetail construction, and natural wear along the drawer runners and keyholes.

Position the chest as a vertical focal point in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway, pairing warm wood tones with neutral linen upholstery and modern framed art rested on the top surface.

Keep the chest away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or warping, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, and apply a clear beeswax paste annually to nourish the timber.
