FAQs

A chest on chest, often called a tallboy, consists of two separate drawer sections stacked one on top of the other, typically emerging in popularity during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

These pieces traditionally feature structural carcases of oak or pine veneered with highly figured burr walnut, complemented by solid walnut mouldings and brass hardware.

Authenticity is identified through hand-cut dovetail joints, handmade iron or brass fixings, secondary woods consistent with the period, and natural patination on the veneer.

Such substantial case pieces provide a striking focal point against neutral walls, contrasting sharply with minimalist contemporary decor while offering practical vertical storage.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity levels, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent veneer fading, and periodically applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the wood.
