The Victorian era (1837–1901) remains one of the most influential design periods in history, celebrated for its grandeur, craftsmanship, and ornate beauty. A Victorian style antique chest of drawers captures this legacy perfectly, blending practicality, durability, and timeless elegance into a single piece.
From richly polished mahogany and walnut to marble-topped finishes, bowfront drawers, and brass fittings, Victorian chests were created to impress. Today, both antique originals and high-quality reproductions remain sought after in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and across Australia.
Whether you are a collector, decorator, or homeowner, owning a Victorian chest means bringing a slice of 19th-century artistry and practicality into your home.
Victorian furniture reflected the prosperity and taste of the 19th century, drawing inspiration from Gothic, Rococo, Renaissance, and Neoclassical traditions. The chest of drawers became a household staple, prized for its storage space as well as its beauty.
