FAQs

A semainier is a tall, slender chest of drawers traditionally featuring seven drawers, one for each day of the week, originating in France and adopted by British cabinetmakers during the Georgian period.

These pieces were typically constructed using a dense tropical hardwood such as mahogany for the primary exterior and drawer fronts, often supported by secondary timbers like oak or pine for internal carcase construction and drawer linings.

Authenticity is determined by inspecting hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers, original brasses or appropriate old replacements, hand-planed secondary woods, and the natural patination and oxidisation of the timber over centuries.

Its vertical proportions make it ideal for smaller spaces where floor area is limited, providing sophisticated storage while introducing rich, warm wood tones that contrast effectively against minimalist neutral walls.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping, and occasionally feed the wood with a traditional beeswax polish to protect the finish without sealing the pores.
