Antique Chests of Drawers

Posted on April 25, 2021

At Antiquated Antiques, we have a beautiful collection of chests of drawers. Chests have been one of the most iconic pieces of antique furniture and were typically made from oak or other native woods such as walnut or mahogany. Chests of drawers were often commissioned by the upper classes from specialist cabinet makers, however nowadays there are some beautiful options that are widely available.

Chests of drawers come in different styles such as flat front or demi-lune fronts, simple stacked drawers or multiple smaller ones, etc. You will find chests with two short over three long drawers or there are other variations with three short drawers over three long graduating drawers. The chests of drawers often had bracket feet but these evolved over time. Antique chests of drawers have an inherent charm and character that a good antique piece acquires with years of use and waxing.

Chests make a functional addition to a modern home and can be used in versatile ways. We have different forms of chests in our collection. Browse our range and we’re sure you’ll find a chest of drawers that appeals to you.
