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

Named after the 1st Duke of Wellington, a Wellington chest is a tall, narrow suite of drawers secured by a hinged vertical side flap or stile that locks over the drawer edges.

Victorian Wellington chests were predominantly constructed using solid mahogany or rich mahogany veneers, frequently lined with pine or oak, and finished with brass drop handles or turned wooden knobs.

Authentic nineteenth-century Wellington chests feature hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, original brass lever locks, drawer-proportions that graduate in size towards the base, and a functioning side locking mechanism.

A pair of Wellington chests works effectively when flanking a bed as tall bedside tables or positioned symmetrically on either side of a fireplace alcove to introduce height and structured storage.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice per year, keeping the timber clear of direct sunlight and heat radiators to prevent moisture loss.
