A Charming Mid 18th Century Oak Tallboy, Or Chest On Chest, Of Exceptionally Rare Small Proportions, Retaining Good Colour Throughout, Having Three Short Drawers And Three Long Drawers To Top Section, Over Two Long Drawers To Base, All With Lovely Original Brass Open Plate Handles And Escutcheons, Raised On Elegant Original Shaped Bracket Feet.

It is extremely unusual to find an item of this type which offers such small and elegant proportions. These make it the perfect candidate to fit just about any space, in any room, in any house. The added bonus is that it is also a really nice example of it’s type with the oak timbers reatining a lovely warm colour.

It also retains its beautiful original brass handles and these have aged gracefully, again its much rarer to find functional items of this age which still have their original handles. Perhaps an even rare find is the original bracket feet, as more often than not years of use and being dragged around from room to room, house to house, alongside changing tastes have resulted in feet being replaced and changed.

Tallboys, or Chest On Chests as they are sometimes known are such useful, functional pieces of furniture. This item is as fit for purpose as the day it was made, with the added bonus being very beautiful indeed, which really is remarkable when you consider it was made over 300 years ago.
