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

A bow front chest of drawers features a convex, gently curved front profile designed during the late Georgian and Regency periods. Popularised in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, these pieces provided functional storage while offering a softer, more space-efficient outline than traditional straight-front chests.

These chests were predominantly constructed using flame mahogany veneers over oak or pine carcases. Hallmarks of construction from this period include hand-cut dovetail joints, cockbeaded drawer edges, turned wooden or brass handles, and splayed bracket feet.

Authentic pieces typically display irregular hand-sawn drawer linings, original brass escutcheons, and hand-cut dovetails showing slight variations. Look for natural oxidisation on the rear timber panels and hand-planed surfaces rather than uniform machine-milled construction.

Position the piece as a focal point in a hallway, bedroom, or living space. Balance the deep mahogany wood tones by pairing the chest with neutral wall colours, contemporary artwork framed above, or modern ceramic vessels on top.

Keep the timber away from direct sunlight and central heating sources to prevent veneer lifting or cracking. Dust regularly with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice per year, buffing along the grain.
