This burr walnut bow front chest on chest of drawers dates from the 1930 period in a classic style. The timber displays warm honey and brown tones with a distinct figured grain pattern across the six drawer fronts. Each drawer is fitted with a pair of dark metal swing handles secured with backplates, and the entire piece rests on shaped bracket feet beneath a moulded top cornice. The unit measures 130.8 cm high, 57.2 cm wide, and 43.2 cm deep. In a modern home, this tallboy provides vertical storage suitable for a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway. The narrow footprint allows it to fit efficiently into compact spaces while offering ample drawer capacity for clothing or linens. The traditional finish coordinates easily with a range of interior settings from contemporary spaces to more formal period rooms.

FAQs

A chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a two-part storage unit comprising one chest of drawers mounted on top of a slightly larger base chest. Originating in the eighteenth century, this stacked format provided extensive vertical storage while remaining easier to transport than single large cabinets.

Traditional walnut chest on chests feature secondary framing constructed from pine or oak, faced with figured burr or walnut veneers. Drawer fronts were routinely fitted with cast brass drop handles, backplates, and cockbeaded moulding surrounding each aperture.

Authentic period construction is identified by hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, solid wood drawer linings, separate upper and lower sections divided by a molded waist, and original brass hardware with internal iron locks.

A tall walnut chest on chest serves as an anchor piece in a master bedroom, dressing room, or study. Pairing its rich timber grain with neutral wall colours, contemporary lighting, or framed monochrome artwork balances historical weight with clean modern aesthetics.

Dust surfaces regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth and apply a quality natural beeswax polish once or twice per year. Keep the piece clear of direct radiator heat and direct sunlight to prevent the thin veneer layers from drying out, cracking, or lifting.
