FAQs

The tall chest of drawers, often referred to as a tallboy or commode en chiffonnier, gained popularity in France during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, particularly under the Empire style which favoured architectural symmetry and classical proportions.

Authentic period pieces typically feature solid oak or pine carcases veneered in flame mahogany, often topped with a heavy slab of grey or white marble. Drawers are traditionally constructed using hand-cut dovetails and fitted with cast brass or bronze hardware.

Authentication involves inspecting the secondary timbers inside the drawer linings, checking for hand-cut dovetailing, looking for subtle imperfections in the hand-turned or flame mahogany veneer, and verifying period-appropriate cast brass mounts and key escutcheons.

A dark wood tallboy adds rich texture and vertical height to a room. Balance its formal weight by pairing it with minimalist lighting, neutral walls, and contemporary artwork to create a curated, eclectic aesthetic.

Maintain antique mahogany by keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prevent wood splitting and veneer lifting. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a quality beeswax polish sparingly once or twice a year.
