The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Late 17th-century chests of drawers, originating during the Jacobean and Carolean eras, marked a shift from simple coffer trunks to raised drawer storage. They typically feature geometric mitred mouldings, solid oak construction, brass drop handles, and bun feet.

These pieces were primarily constructed from solid English oak, joined using hand-cut dovetails or mortise and tenon joints. Drawers usually incorporate side-running grooves that slide on wooden runners integrated into the carcass walls.

Authentic period pieces exhibit signs of early hand craftsmanship, including hand-sawn timber marks, thick drawer linings, and wooden peg joinery. Look for geometric applied mouldings, tear-drop or drop handles, and uneven wear along the drawer runners.

Position the chest as a anchor piece in an entryway, living room, or bedroom, pairing its dark timber tones with neutral walls or modern artwork. Balance its solid proportions with simple contemporary ceramics, modern table lamps, or textured woven fabrics.

Apply a clear beeswax paste once or twice a year to preserve the timber and maintain its natural patina. Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and excessive damp to prevent wood shrinkage, splitting, or movement over time.
