Description

A superb untouched oak and fruitwood crossbanded chest on stand, c. 1740. Although this is a piece of vernacular furniture, the design is elegant and the craftsmanship skilled. The cornice is dentil moulded above with intricate blind fretwork below. The caracass is made from oak as are the drawer linings so it was an expensive piece in its day.

The ball and claw feet are original but very country made. It's as if the maker has reserved his craftsmanship for the lower frieze which is quite superb in its detail.

To cap it all the brass work is original and it has a wonderful golden colour. It's been a hard decision to let this piece leave our showroom.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, avoiding direct sunlight, and occasionally treating the timber surface with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.

This type of case furniture provides strong vertical lines and ample storage, making it suitable as a focal point in a bedroom or hallway, pairing well with both neutral modern walls and traditional textures.

Authenticity is evaluated through timber shrinkage patterns, hand-planed surfaces, irregular dovetailing, original brass hardware or well-matched replacement placements, and natural patination developed over centuries.

These pieces are traditionally crafted from native timbers such as oak, fruitwood, and walnut, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints, pegged framing, and fitted brass drop handles and escutcheons.

A chest on stand, often referred to as a tallboy or highboy, is a case furniture piece consisting of a multi-drawer chest elevated on a separate frame with legs, typically designed to maximise vertical storage space.
