  • ObjectChest of Drawers
  • Period19th century
  • StyleSwedish Biedermeier
  • MaterialBurr Walnut, Pine, Brass
  • ColourGolden Brown
  • MotifsBurr veneer, Stepped top drawer, Crossbanded borders, Brass escutcheons

This 19th-century Swedish Biedermeier tall chest of drawers is constructed from golden brown burr walnut veneer with pine framing. The piece displays crossbanded borders on the drawer fronts, a shaped stepped top section containing a single narrow drawer, and turned bun feet at the base. Seven graduating drawers include ornate brass handles and escutcheons, all polished and waxed to a rich lustre. Measuring 156 cm in height, 90 cm in width, and 50 cm in depth, the vertical profile provides generous storage capacity with a minimal floor footprint. The chest is suitable for placement in a bedroom, dressing room, or hall to organise clothing and accessories while adding traditional Swedish design to the interior.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century Swedish furniture often combines neo-classical Biedermeier influences with restraint and elegant proportions. Craftsmen frequently utilised richly figured native and imported veneers, such as burr walnut and birch, paired with clean geometric silhouettes.

These pieces typically feature a solid softwood or oak carcass overlaid with decorative burr walnut veneers. Drawer linings are commonly crafted from pine or oak, fitted with hand-cut dovetail joints and brass or bronze drop handles.

Authentic 19th-century walnut furniture displays signs of period construction, including hand-sawn carcass timbers, uneven dovetail joints, and natural age-related shrinkage. Look for authentic lock mechanisms, original drawer runners showing friction wear, and genuine patination on the veneer.

A tallboy chest serves as a functional focal point when placed against a neutral wall in a bedroom or hallway. Balance its vertical scale with a wall-mounted mirror or contemporary artwork above, flanked by modern ceramics or lighting.

Maintain burr walnut by dusting regularly with a soft dry cloth and applying a high-grade beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent veneer movement, lifting, or fading of the timber finish.
