FAQs

A chest on chest, often referred to as a tallboy, is a tall piece of bedroom furniture consisting of one chest stacked directly on top of another, typically providing numerous drawers for storage.

These pieces were traditionally constructed using a sturdy secondary timber like pine or oak for the carcass, overlaid with high-quality decorative veneers such as figured walnut, burr walnut, or mahogany.

Authenticity is identified through traditional construction methods such as hand-cut dovetail joints on the drawer boxes, matching grain patterns on the veneer, aged brass hardware, and natural timber shrinkage over time.

A tallboy serves as a statement storage piece in a bedroom, where it can be paired with minimalist contemporary decor to highlight its rich wood tones and classic architectural lines.

Preserve antique walnut by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent veneer cracking, and apply microcrystalline wax periodically to nourish the wood.
