Neptune Chawton Classic Tall Dresser

Chawton gives you the personalisation of a bespoke piece, the look of fitted cabinetry and the flexibility of modular storage. Use this classic cabinet’s sliding doors to keep your crockery tucked tidily away, then organise your cutlery with the Orford tray which will fit perfectly into any of the large drawers along the middle. The glazed cupboards and open shelving on the top are inspired by traditional museum displays, so they’re ideal for exhibiting your favourite kitchenware. You’ll also find height-adjustable feet hidden behind the skirting – they’re there so you can match up both sides of the sideboard, just in case your floor’s not perfectly even.

The materials: oak
Oak’s sense of tradition together with its distinctive (but not too knotty) grain makes it our go-to timber. Our wood is durable when it comes to knocks, but we’ve further protected it from spills with a Dark Vintage Oak IsoGuard finish – our natural, VOC-free, oil-based formula that doesn’t mask the timber’s character.

The materials: tulipwood
We use tulipwood because it’s strong, smooth and has very few knots, which is the ideal surface for painting. But when it comes to the application, we know that not all furniture and every colour needs the same method, so that’s why we vary the number of coats and use hand-finishing techniques specific to each piece.

The hardware
All Chawton’s hardware, from the cupped handles to the finger-pulls on the cupboards, are finished in deep, dark bronze. It’s quite a contemporary look but with a touch of tradition. And, it’ll complement whichever colour you choose from our carefully curated palette, whether it be our go-to Snow shade or deep blue Ink.

Design detail
With the drawers, we’ve taken both aesthetics and practicality into account. To ensure they glide smoothly into place, we’ve included soft-close runners which sit underneath, so you won’t see them but the drawers will still shut smoothly.    Inside the sliding cupboards and the top cabinets, you’ll find oak shelves – they rest on pins that let you adjust the position up and down. These are no ordinary pins though, they’re incredibly strong metal ones, which screw into the sides and are finished in bronze so that they match the rest of the hardware.
