A Semainier is a chest of drawers, usually tall and thin, originally intended for storing a week's supply of clothing, undergarments and or lingerie. Originating in 18th century France, semainier has come to mean any seven-drawer chest these days but the term is sometimes erroneously applied to tall thin lingerie chests with only six drawers. In Britain it is referred as a Chiffonier. Measures: Height 52 inches (132.1 cm) Width 14 1/4 inches (36. 2 cm) Depth 11 inches (28 cm).
