We are delighted to offer for sale this Exquisite Tallboy Linen Press Chest of Drawers.
Is crafted in the elegant English Queen Anne style, with a stunning walnut veneer that showcases intricate figure patterns. It was constructed during the George V period by the esteemed furniture makers Waring & Gillow around 1930, and remains in a very good original condition.
The design of this tallboy chest draws inspiration from the early 18th century, featuring two sections. The top section boasts two doors adorned with exquisite figured walnut veneer and brass hardware. When opened, these doors reveal two ash linen slides for convenient storage. The original working brass lock and locking bar are still intact. The corners of the cornice are adorned with beautifully carved floral details against a punch-work background, adding a touch of elegance.
Beneath the top section, you'll find a practical configuration of two-over-three drawers. Each drawer is decorated with molded fronts and constructed using strong dovetail joints in solid ash wood. The original splayed brass drop handles and working lever locks are still present on each drawer. As an indication of its authenticity, the top left drawer bears the stamped name "Waring & Gillow" along with an attached metal plate inside for additional verification.
The tallboy is highlighted by its stunning figured walnut veneer on the drawer fronts and solid walnut wood on the sides and frame. This versatile piece can be easily dismantled into two sections to facilitate hassle-free access into your home or bedroom.
Combining decorative beauty with practical functionality, this tallboy linen press chest of drawers exhibits lovely proportions that will enhance any space it occupies.

Deliveries & Collections
Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.
The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote.
If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.
We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.
Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Caring for your items.
Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear.
We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.
For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.
For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
