Description

George II walnut tallboy with sunburst

Here we are very pleased to offer you a George II walnut tallboy with Sunburst.

This wonderful tallboy/ chest on chest was made circa 1725. This superb tallboy was purchased from a fine and important home near the River Test.

The cabinetmaker selected fine figured walnut veneers with sections of burr for the drawers, also he selected character walnut to the sides, with large oysters to both top and bottom sections.

The George II walnut tallboy is made in 2 sections, this allows easy transportation to and around your home.

The top half is fitted with 3 drawers along the top and a further 3 graduated drawers under. All the drawers are cross-banded and with herringbone inlay, and then the striking period pierced brass handles.

It has canted corners with fine fluting.

The base section is fitted the brushing slide, where a gentleman would have his valet press his clothes before wearing. This slide pulls out using the axe head brass pulls.

It also is fitted 3 graduated drawers, the bottom drawer with the magnificent sunburst inlay, a most desirable feature. An inlaid sunburst is rare and gives a tallboy a with this special feature an extra desirability.

It stands on straight bracket feet.

Imagine the pride of owning this magnificent chest on chest, and the amount of wonderful storage it will provide.

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.
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.
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.

A tallboy, or chest-on-chest, is a two-tiered wooden cabinet originating in the 18th century, designed to maximise vertical storage space using an upper chest set upon a larger base chest.

They typically feature solid or veneered walnut, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass swan-neck or drop handles, decorative escutcheons, and sturdy bracket feet.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-planed timber, secondary woods such as oak or pine used for internal drawer construction, original iron locks, and characteristic period motifs like sunburst inlays.

Placing a tallboy as a focal piece against neutral walls creates structural visual height, seamlessly blending historic wood grain with contemporary decor.

Dust regularly with a dry microfiber cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the cabinet away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
