Comprising a rectangular frame, with a moulded sectional inverted front, the Art Deco tallboy features four dovetailed, mahogany lined drawers, retaining the original vertical bar-shape handles. Below, there are two large cupboard doors, designed with fluted mouldings in the centre, also retain the original handles. The left-hand door features its original sliding bolts, to secure the door when closed and the right-hand door retains the original working brass lever lock, with original key. The right-hand door retains the original brass lever lock and original working key. The two doors open to reveal a large storage area, featuring two internal shelves, ideal for storing larger items of clothing. The Art Deco compactum exterior is decorated with stunning mirror-matched figured and burr walnut, set within a moulded border and displays striking mirror-matched frontage. The Art Deco compactum terminates on its original recessed plinth and original backboards. This is a single piece tallboy and because of its smaller size; it is ideal for compact rooms, as it consumes very little space.
The Art Deco compactum would be at home in either a traditional or contemporary setting; consumes very little space and is extremely practical. This Art Deco tallboy chest of drawers boasts classic Art Deco styling in the overall design of the curved moulded frame, corners, clean lines to the tops, the handles and the plinth.
This Art Deco compactum boasts a mellow warm walnut colour, having been cleaned and French polished by hand in our workshop; along with the years and care of cleaning it has received.

Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers’ contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It’s helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
