FAQs

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels away from direct heat sources, avoiding silicone-based polishes, and periodically feeding the timber with traditional beeswax to maintain the finish.

A tallboy provides strong vertical lines and rich timber tones that anchor a bedroom or dressing room, contrasting effectively against neutral walls and pairing well with minimalist modern furnishings.

Authenticity is identified by inspecting the hand-cut dovetailing, irregular grain patterns, historical tool marks, hand-beveled drawer linings, and the presence of natural shrinkage and oxidisation commensurate with age.

These pieces were typically constructed from dense tropical hardwoods like mahogany or native timbers such as oak, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer boxes, solid timber backs and sides, and traditional brass swing handles.

A chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a two-part piece of furniture featuring a smaller upper chest stacked upon a larger lower chest, which first gained popularity during the late 17th and 18th centuries to maximise vertical storage space.
