FAQs

A chest on chest, frequently referred to as a tallboy, is an 18th-century storage unit constructed in two separate upper and lower sections to facilitate movement while maximizing vertical drawer space.

Georgian chests on chest were typically constructed from solid mahogany or oak frameworks, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, pine or oak drawer linings, and cast brass swan-neck handles.

Authentic 18th-century pieces display hand-sawn timber marks, hand-cut dovetail joints, original brass backplates with threaded posts and square nuts, and natural shrinkage or wear consistent with age.

A Georgian tallboy functions effectively as a focal storage piece in modern bedrooms, dressing rooms, or hallways, pairing natural timber tones alongside contemporary textiles and minimalist wall art.

Maintain mahogany furniture by dusting with a soft cloth, applying a high-quality beeswax polish sparingly along the wood grain annually, and keeping the piece away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
