Vintage Small Art Deco Walnut Tallboy | Fitted Interior

1920 - 1940
For Sale by ActFurniture LTD
Description

Vintage 1930s Art Deco tallboy in figured walnut, a stylish and well-proportioned piece of good quality, showcasing the bold veneers and clean lines that define the period.

A pair of doors opens to a fitted interior, with two deep shelves to one side and a series of smaller shelves and pigeonholes to the other, ideal for linen, clothing or shirts. Below are two long drawers, all fitted with Art Deco chrome handles, and the doors have a lock.

The doors and drawers are faced with book-matched figured walnut framed by contrasting straight-grain banding, with a rounded top edge and a stepped plinth base typical of the era.

The walnut displays a stunning flame figure and a warm, rich colour, with lovely contrast between the darker figured panels and the lighter banding.

Presented in good condition, it is a very desirable piece of compact proportions, perfect for a bedroom, dressing room or hallway, and would make a wonderful addition to any home.

This vintage 1930s Art Deco tallboy is constructed from walnut, burr walnut veneer, and metal in a warm brown tone. The piece consists of a pair of upper cabinet doors above two long drawers, resting on a stepped plinth base. Geometric chrome handles are fitted vertically to the doors and drawers, which display a book-matched burr walnut veneer with contrasting straight-grain banding and a rounded top edge. The cabinet has double doors enclosing a fitted interior and an overall height of 130.5 cm, a width of 74 cm, and a depth of 45 cm. Suitably sized for placement in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway, this tallboy provides storage space for linen, clothing, or shirts. The clean lines and bold veneers reflect the geometric aesthetic characteristic of the Art Deco period. The contrasting darker figured panels and lighter banding create a distinct visual pattern across the front facade, while the stepped base anchors the upright structure.

Originating in the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco furniture is characterised by geometric forms, clean lines, stepped silhouettes, and dramatic natural wood veneers such as burr walnut and mahogany.

Pieces from this era typically featured solid timber frames clad in highly figured walnut, mahogany, or oak veneers, complemented by solid brass or chrome-plated hardware.

Authentic pieces feature book-matched wood veneers, geometric metal handles, stepped or plinth bases, and traditional joinery techniques such as dovetailed drawers.

A dark walnut tallboy works well against neutral or deep jewel-toned walls, functioning as an accent piece in a bedroom, hallway, or home office.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically along the grain. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to avoid drying or bleaching the veneer.
