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.

A chest on chest, also known as a tallboy, is a piece of case furniture consisting of two stacked chests of drawers. Originating in the eighteenth century, this design maximised vertical storage space while keeping floor footprints compact.

Georgian cabinetmakers primarily utilised solid mahogany and mahogany veneers, often backed with pine or oak drawer linings. Construction typically features hand-cut dovetail joints, brass or turned wooden handles, and hand-planed timber backboards.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved dovetail joints, hand-sawn back panels, and evidence of period joinery techniques. The drawers usually demonstrate graduated sizing from top to bottom and feature traditional bracket feet or ogee feet.

A tall chest on chest serves as a focal piece in a bedroom, hallway, or dressing room. Pair it with neutral wall shades, modern task lighting, or contemporary artwork to balance its traditional proportions.

Keep mahogany furniture away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber movement and finish deterioration. Dust regularly with a clean, soft cloth and apply beeswax twice a year to preserve the wood lustre.
