FAQs

A Wellington chest is a tall, narrow chest of drawers characterised by a hinged locking stile on one side that secures all the drawers when locked. Originating in the early 19th century, it is traditionally attributed to the Duke of Wellington.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid mahogany or mahogany veneers over secondary softwoods like pine, featuring hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawers and turned wooden knob handles.

Authentic pieces exhibit period construction traits such as hand-cut dovetailing, cedar or oak drawer linings, hand-turned wooden knobs, and traditional timber shrinkage and oxidisation consistent with age.

Its tall, narrow profile makes it ideal for positioning in alcoves or compact spaces where floor area is limited, offering vertical storage whilst serving as a traditional focal point against neutral walls.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent timber splitting, and nourish the wood periodically with traditional beeswax rather than modern silicone polishes.
