FAQs

A Wellington chest is a tall, narrow set of drawers characterised by a hinged locking stile on one side that secures all the drawers simultaneously, named after the Duke of Wellington.

These cabinets were typically constructed from solid timbers such as mahogany or walnut, often featuring finely figured veneers on the drawer fronts and secondary woods like pine or oak for drawer linings.

Authentic pieces feature period construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, traditional timber shrinkage, original locking mechanisms, and authentic patination on the wood surface.

Its vertical proportions make it ideal for spaces with limited floor area, serving as a functional storage solution that adds warmth and historical contrast to contemporary minimalist schemes.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, and periodically apply quality beeswax to nourish the wood surface.
