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

Named after the Duke of Wellington, a Wellington chest is a tall, narrow 19th-century chest of drawers featuring a hinged side pilaster that secures all drawers with a single lock.

These chests were commonly crafted from solid hardwoods such as oak, mahogany, walnut, or rosewood, often featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints and brass drop handles.

Look for hand-cut dovetail jointing on the drawer construction, original brass locks, period-correct wear on the drawer runners, and a side locking bar mechanism.

Its compact footprint makes it ideal for tight alcoves, hallway corners, or home offices, where it functions as vertical storage while providing a historical accent.

Dust regularly with a soft cloth and apply a natural beeswax polish periodically along the wood grain, keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and excessive moisture.
