This George II walnut chest on chest is a Georgian period piece of furniture finished in a warm brown colour with distinctive burr walnut veneering across its surfaces.

The feather-banded drawer fronts hold etched brass plate handles and escutcheons, and the entire structure rests on shaped bracket feet. Measuring 117 cm high, 112 cm wide, and 55 cm deep, this substantial storage item fits well in a traditional bedroom, hallway, or living space to organise garments and household linens while adding a classic English country house aesthetic to the interior design.

FAQs

A George II chest-on-chest, also known as a tallboy, is an 18th-century English furniture form comprising two stacked drawer units designed to maximise vertical storage space.

These pieces typically feature walnut or mahogany veneers laid over pine or oak carcasses, finished with brass backplate handles and escutcheons.

Authentic examples display hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, oak secondary timbers, hand-sawn backboards, and period-correct brass fittings.

Position the piece as a focal point against a neutral backdrop, balancing its substantial visual weight with contemporary artwork or clean-lined modern accessories.

Position the item away from direct sunlight and radiators, dust regularly with a soft cloth, and apply a beeswax polish periodically to nourish the timber.
