A tallboy is a tall chest of drawers, frequently built as a chest on chest configuration to provide generous vertical storage without taking up excessive floor space. These pieces combine practical capacity with decorative presence, making them suitable for bedrooms and dressing rooms.

How do I identify bracket feet?

Bracket feet are corner supports shaped from two pieces of timber mitred at a right angle to form a neat foot beneath the cabinet. They lift the case piece slightly off the floor while offering a stable base. Different periods favoured various bracket profiles, ranging from simple plain shapes to moulded ogee variations.

Burr walnut is a decorative wood veneer harvested from the knotty growths of walnut trees. The resulting timber exhibits dense, swirling patterns that catch the light. Craftmen applied these decorative veneers to drawer fronts and top surfaces on finer furniture.

Where should I place a tallboy?

A tallboy suits rooms with adequate vertical clearance, providing substantial drawer storage where floor space is limited. Their height allows them to anchor a wall alongside other case furniture. Ensure the piece stands on a level floor away from direct heat sources to protect the timber and veneer.
