Chest
|
A chest is one of the oldest forms of furniture. It is a rectangular
structure with four walls and a lift able lid, for storage. The
interior space may be subdivided. A cassone is a kind of carved or painted chest associated with late Medieval and Renaissance Italy. Cassone were often used to carry the dowry goods in a marriage ceremony. In Medieval and early Renaissance times in Europe low chests were often used as benches while taller chests were used as side tables. By placing a chest on the side on any kind of rough table, the inner surface of its lid could be used as a proper writing surface while the interior could house writing implements and related materials, as was the case with the Bargueno desk of Spain. Many early Portable desks were stacked chests, with the top one having its lid on the side, to serve as a writing surface when opened. |

A chest of drawers, also known (especially in North America) as
dresser or bureau, is a piece of furniture which has multiple
parallel, horizontal drawers stacked one above each other. Dressers
have traditionally been made and used for storing clothing,
especially underwear, socks, and other items not normally hung in or
otherwise stored in a closet. Dressers are often placed in a bedroom
for this purpose, but can actually be used to store anything that
will fit inside and can be placed anywhere in a house or another
place. Various personal sundry items are also often stored in a
dresser. It has a long history as one of the stand-bys of a
carpenter's workshop. Dressers are typically approximately
rectangular in overall shape, but often have short legs at the
bottom corners for placement on the floor. Chests of drawers often come in 5-, 6-, and 7-drawer varieties, with either a single or a split top drawer. Dressers are commonly made of wood, similar to many other kinds of furniture, but of course can be made of other materials. The inside of the drawers can be accessed by pulling them out at the front side of the dresser. A dresser is often placed so that the back side faces a wall since access to the back is not necessary. The lateral sides of the dressers are also usually made such that they can be placed against a wall; for example, for placement in a room corner. Although dressers can be made plain in appearance, they can also be made with a fancier or ornamental appearance, including finishes and various external color tones. Dressers often belong in about roughly two varieties: dressers which are about waist-high or bench-high and dressers (usually with more drawers) which are about shoulder-high. Both types typically have a flat surface on top; of course, items can be placed on top. Waist-high dressers often have a mirror placed vertically on top; the mirror is often bought with the dresser. While a user is getting dressed or otherwise preparing their grooming, he/she can look at themselves in the mirror to check their appearance. Some users may keep lamps for lighting or decorative items or photos for appearance on top of either kind of dresser. |
