Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

A Wellington chest is a tall, narrow style of chest of drawers that originated in the early 19th century, traditionally featuring a hinged locking side stile that secures all the drawers with a single key.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany or walnut, often featuring fine drawer dovetailing, turned wooden knobs, and a vertical locking mechanism held by a side-mounted pilaster.

Authenticity is indicated by hand-cut dovetail joints, traditional timber shrinkage, original locks and hardware, and hand-finished secondary woods on the interior drawer linings.

Its slim vertical proportions make it ideal for compact spaces, serving as a functional storage piece in a bedroom or study while introducing rich wood tones and traditional character to modern schemes.

Maintain the wood by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying high-quality beeswax to nourish the finish.
