FAQs

A bow front chest of drawers features a gently convex curved front section, designed during the late 18th and early 19th centuries to soften room angles and offer increased drawer depth at the centre.

Cabinetmakers utilised flame mahogany veneers on primary surfaces, often accentuating drawer edges with boxwood or ebony stringing, whilst using solid oak or pine as secondary timbers for drawer linings and carcass framing.

Authentic period chests display hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer linings, hand-sawn pine or oak backboard panels, natural shrinkage lines along the veneer, and period-correct brass or turned timber handles.

Position the piece as an anchor in a bedroom or hallway, pairing the rich mahogany timber tones with neutral wall colours, contemporary abstract artwork above, and minimalist ceramic accessories on top.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent veneer cracking and fading.
