FAQs

A chest on chest, often called a tallboy, is a tall piece of furniture consisting of two stacked sections of drawers, which became popular in Britain during the 18th century for maximising storage space.

These pieces were typically constructed from a sturdy oak or pine carcass, veneered in figured walnut with decorative cross-banding and line inlay, and fitted with solid brass handles and escutcheons.

Authenticity is usually determined by inspecting dovetail joints for hand-cut irregularity, examining drawer linings for secondary woods like oak or pine, and checking for natural timber shrinkage and patination consistent with age.

The rich timber tones and classic proportions serve as a grounding anchor in a modern bedroom or hallway, contrasting effectively against neutral plastered walls and minimalist decor.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent veneer splitting, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the surface.
