FAQs

A chest-on-chest, also known as a tallboy, is an eighteenth-century furniture design consisting of two chests of drawers stacked vertically, with the upper section constructed slightly narrower than the lower base to maintain structural balance.

Traditional tallboys were predominantly constructed from solid hardwoods such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, cast brass handles, and decorative flame veneers laid across drawer fronts.

Authentic eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, hand-planed backboards, and natural age-related wear around keyholes and drawer runners.

A tallboy serves as a functional focal point in modern bedrooms, dressing rooms, or hallways when balanced with light wall colours, contemporary artwork, and simple ceramic accessories.

Maintain flame mahogany by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and applying beeswax polish sparingly along the grain twice a year. Keep the cabinet clear of direct heat sources and high humidity to protect the veneer.
