FAQs

Authenticity is determined by examining construction hallmarks such as hand-cut dovetails, secondary woods used in drawer linings, natural ageing of the timber, and makers marks or stamps where applicable.

A tallboy serves as a sculptural statement piece that provides vertical grounding in contemporary bedrooms or hallways, contrasting effectively against minimalist walls and neutral colour palettes.

Preservation involves maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent veneer fading, and periodically applying quality beeswax to nourish and protect the polished wooden surface.

These pieces typically feature solid timber carcasses finished with decorative wood veneers such as burr maple, walnut, or mahogany, often built using traditional dovetail joints and solid brass or wooden hardware.

The tallboy, or highboy, evolved during the late 17th century as a combination of a chest of drawers placed upon a base or another chest, gaining immense popularity for maximising vertical storage in British homes.
