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 chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a wooden storage unit comprising two separate chests of drawers stacked vertically. Developed in the late 17th and 18th centuries, the upper section is constructed slightly narrower than the lower base to ensure physical stability and visual proportion.

Period walnut chests were typically constructed using solid pine or oak as the carcass wood, overlaid with figured or burr walnut veneers and feather-line inlaid crossbanding. Hardware components such as drawer handles and keyhole escutcheons were cast in brass.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, hand-sawn secondary timber, and oak or pine drawer linings. Indications of age include natural shrinkage lines along veneer joints, historic wear on drawer runners, and faint outline marks from original hardware.

A tall walnut chest functions as a key focal element in a bedroom, living space, or wide hallway, balancing contemporary light walls. Placing neutral ceramics or structured lamps nearby creates a balanced, layered interior composition.

Position the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber movement, veneer lift, and surface bleaching. Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a thin coat of clear beeswax polish once or twice a year to maintain the timber finish.
