The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A Dutch linen press is a traditional two-part storage cabinet originating in the 17th and 18th centuries, featuring an upper cupboard with shelves or slides for storing household linens and a lower chest of drawers.

These cupboards were typically constructed using native hardwoods like oak for the carcass, overlaid with highly figured burr walnut or mahogany veneers and fitted with solid brass hardware.

Authentic Dutch pieces often feature a distinctive bombe curved lower chest, hand-carved crestings, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, and rich book-matched burr walnut veneer patterns.

Position the linen press as a focal point in a master bedroom, dining room, or hallway to add architectural height, using its interior for hidden media equipment or clothes storage.

Maintain burr walnut by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth, applying a high-grade beeswax polish annually, and keeping the item away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
