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 semainier is a traditional French tall chest of drawers featuring seven distinct drawers, historically designed to hold a weeks supply of clothing or household linen.

These chests were typically constructed using fine timber veneers such as kingwood, rosewood, or mahogany over oak frames, topped with natural marble slabs and finished with cast gilt bronze ormolu mounts.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints, heavy hand-chiselled gilt bronze mounts, original natural marble tops with hand-finished edges, and honest timber wear inside the drawers.

Incorporating a slender French tallboy into a modern scheme creates a focal point of craftsmanship, pairing effectively with understated contemporary textiles and neutral wall tones.

Gilt bronze mounts should be dusted with a soft dry brush without harsh chemical polishes, while wood veneers benefit from occasional light applications of natural wax polish and placement away from direct heat sources.
