Because of its impressive figuring and strong grain, Walnut has been incorporated into chests of drawers for hundreds of years. While it was the Burr Walnut and Oyster Shell veneers which were incorporated into the best Georgian Chest of Drawers, even simple antique solid Walnut Chest of Drawers are hard wearing and turn a lovely soft dark Chestnut colour over time. Walnut was often matched with elegant handles and fine carving such as found in European Chests of Drawers or left crisp and simple as often preferred in England. Its popularity grew during the 20th Century due firstly to the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, but then later for its versatility and look with more Modernist shapes of the Art Deco Period and beyond. Whichever age of Walnut Chest you choose, it will be sure to give you years of unproblematic service.
