FAQs

A chest on chest, also referred to as a tallboy, is a piece of case furniture consisting of two separate chest units stacked vertically to maximise storage space while retaining a compact footprint.

Traditional chests on chest feature hand-dovetailed drawer joints, solid timber dust boards between drawers, veneer laid over pine or oak carcases, and original brass pull handles.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-planing on drawer bottoms, natural shrinkage in timber joints, original lock plates with keyholes, and makers stamps or metal labels from established cabinetmakers.

A tallboy serves as an anchor piece in a primary bedroom or dressing room, providing structural height when paired with contemporary neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and modern textiles.

Maintain mahogany by dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and applying a high-quality bees wax polish annually along the wood grain, keeping the furniture away from direct sunlight and central heating sources.
