FAQs

A chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a storage unit consisting of two stacked sections of drawers developed during the 18th century to maximize vertical storage space.

These pieces were predominantly constructed using solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over pine frameworks, featuring hand-carved oak drawer linings and cast brass handles.

Authentic Georgian examples feature hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass escutcheons or swan-neck handles, oak drawer bottoms, and carved bracket feet.

Placing a tallboy in a bedroom, hallway, or living space adds vertical height and structure when contrasted against neutral modern walls and contemporary artwork.

Maintain mahogany by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth, applying beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year, and keeping the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight.
