The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A George II tallboy chest-on-chest is a two-part wooden cabinet constructed during the reign of King George II (17271760). Characterised by upper and lower drawer sections stacked vertically, these pieces frequently feature figured walnut or mahogany veneers, bracket feet, and cast brass handles.

18th-century tallboys were typically crafted with a secondary carcass of pine or oak, overlaid with cut walnut or burr walnut veneers. Drawer linings were usually made from quarter-sawn oak or softwoods, complemented by solid brass drop handles and key escutcheons.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, oak-lined drawer bottoms, and evidence of hand-planing on secondary woods. Look for natural timber shrinkage, original lock mechanisms, and genuine patination on brass hardware and exterior veneers.

Position the tallboy against a neutral or dark wall to emphasize the timber grain and silhouette. Balance its vertical scale with tailored contemporary lighting, minimalist artwork, or muted textiles to create a curated contrast between historic and modern elements.

Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and radiators to prevent timber movement or veneer lifting. Maintain stable humidity levels and apply a natural beeswax polish twice a year along the direction of the wood grain to preserve the finish.
