FAQs

A Chinoiserie chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a two-tier storage chest featuring decorative painting inspired by East Asian artistic traditions, popularised in Europe during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid timbers such as pine, oak, or mahogany, coated in lacquered or painted gesso finishes, and fitted with cast brass drop handles.

Look for age-related surface craquelure, genuine hand-painted botanical or figurative motifs rather than stencilled transfers, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and original brass hardware showing natural oxidisation.

Position the tallboy as a focal storage piece against neutral or wood-panelled walls, pairing it with modern lighting or plain ceramics to balance the detailed paintwork.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid chemical sprays or damp sponges, which can dissolve or damage the paintwork and underlying gesso layers.
