The Appeal of Antique Chests of Drawers

The Appeal of Antique Chests of Drawers

One of our best sellers, the basic design of chests of drawers hasn't needed much improvement over the years, so a piece from the 1800s can be just as useful today.  In fact, older drawers are often deeper and sturdier than modern equivalents. 

The craftsmanship with techniques such as dovetail joints and hand-finishing mean they've already proven they can last a century or more.  Their durability makes them feel like a safter long-term buy compared to modern flat-pack furniture.

Their sense of character is also hard to replicate with sometimes slight asymmetry, patina, worn handles... all tell a story, especially in room filled with newer uniform items.  

So go ahead and mix and match your room with old and new. Antique chests of drawers fit perfectly into that modern meets vintage look you see in design magazines and social media. We have a vast selection online and in store at a range of prices to suit all budgets, so start your search now at Antiques & Chic.
