18th Century George I Walnut Tallboy Chest-on-Stand, England
18th Century George I Walnut Tallboy Chest-on-Stand, England

18th Century George I Walnut Tallboy Chest-on-Stand, England

Located in Houston, TX

A superb early 18th-century George I walnut "tallboy" chest-on-stand, featuring exquisite oyster walnut veneers. Early oyster walnut chest-on-stands are scarce. The upper section consists of two short over three long graduated drawers, each meticulously book-matched to show the concentric grain patterns characteristic of the period. The drawers are framed by delicate feather-banding and retain their high-quality, period-correct brass batwing escutcheons and drop handles. The chest sits upon its original stand, which houses a single deep long drawer above a beautifully shaped, arched apron. The piece is elevated by elegant cabriole legs terminating in refined pad feet, providing a sophisticated silhouette that balances the visual weight of the upper case. The sides are finished in solid walnut with a rich, deep patina. The construction features traditional hand-cut dovetails and pegged joints, consistent with early 17th to 18th century cabinetmaking. This piece is a testament to the "Golden Age" of English walnut furniture...

Vintage, New and Antique Linen Presses

A vintage, new or antique linen press is a great way to prevent wrinkles while storing linens in a space that will remain dry.

Linen presses are a type of storage cabinet used to store domestic linens such as bedsheets, napkins and tablecloths. Early models had storage space as well as a pressing device, with some also having features that aired the linens. The purpose of these linen presses was to protect and care for valuable textiles.

These cupboards were popular from the 17th century to the 19th century in Europe and the United States, after which more modern options, like wardrobes and ironing boards, were widely adopted.

Early linen presses were often very simple, but over the years they became more complex and ornate with carved wooden details. As they frequently borrow elements from cupboards and wardrobes, linen presses are perfect for adding storage space to a home. Some can display decorative objects like dinnerware while storing sheets and other linen essentials in drawers.

While they have a practical purpose, linen presses can set the tone for a room especially because their large size makes them a focal point. Some have rustic looks, others have polished wood surfaces that reflect light, making a room seem brighter.

On 1stDibs, a range of vintage, new and antique linen presses can be found for anyone in need of a storage solution. They range from mid-century modern linen presses with angular lines, practical features and symmetrical shapes to Rococo pieces with soft lines, carved elements and delicate details.
