Longbourn Chest in Natural Acacia Wood

Solid acacia, subtle moulding detail, three large drawers with antique-style metal pulls at 132.5cm wide — the Longbourn chest with the weight and character of properly made furniture.

At 96kg in solid acacia, the Longbourn Chest is unambiguously serious furniture — the kind of piece that takes two people to move and stays exactly where it is placed, its weight a direct reflection of the genuine solid hardwood construction throughout. At 132.5cm wide and 91cm tall it is a proper full-width bedroom chest, three generously sized drawers across a breadth that provides real storage capacity for clothing and linens rather than the token storage of a narrower piece. The subtle moulding detail on the drawer faces and the antique-style metal pulls add the craft quality that distinguishes the Longbourn from a plain-fronted alternative.

What sets it apart

The detail that makes it different

The subtle moulding detail is the quality that makes the Longbourn Chest read as classically crafted rather than simply functional — moulding on the drawer face perimeter is the traditional cabinet-maker's detail that adds visual depth and shadow line to what would otherwise be a flat front, giving each drawer a three-dimensional quality and a refined character that plain-faced drawers cannot achieve. The antique-style metal pulls — round, with the warm patina of aged metal — are in the same traditional register as the moulding, completing the front of the piece with hardware that has genuine character rather than generic modern knobs. Combined with the warm honey tones and characteristic grain of solid acacia, the Longbourn is a chest with the presence and quality of furniture that lasts.
