The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Originating in France during the 18th and 19th centuries, tall chest designs such as the semainier or chiffonnier were crafted with vertical drawer arrangements to optimise floor space while providing dedicated daily storage.

Mid-19th century French case furniture typically utilizes solid oak or oak veneers with hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, brass escutcheons, and cast or pressed brass handle plates.

Authentic pieces from around 1850 feature hand-planed back panels, traditional joinery methods, original lock mechanisms with brass escutcheons, and architectural side columns influenced by Empire and Louis-Philippe styles.

Position the tall chest against a neutral wall in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway to add verticality and warm wood tones, pairing it with contemporary lighting or understated artwork for contrast.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish once or twice a year, keeping the wood away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity variations to prevent timber movement.
