Buying Guide

The type of wood that Bombay chests are made of tends to be extremely dark, almost black or mahogany - such that a secondary term for Bombay furniture is, simply, ‘Blackwood’. The specific wood used is called Blackwood, which is a hardwood that can be polished delicately to a gorgeous sheen.

Bombay furniture is based off Dutch models, often has intricate, lace-like carving, and the quality of wood makes each piece stand out from other vintage pieces. Bombay furniture, including Bombay chests, is highly-prized by collectors today.

You can style a Bombay chest by using it as an attention-grabbing accent in a room with simpler and plainer pieces or by pairing it up with furniture in a similar fashion. For example, a Bombay chest for sale would look divine next to a wingback chair or opulent Persian rugs.

You can even decide to turn it into the main focal point of your bedroom by placing it opposite the bed.

While Bombay chests are already extremely decorative thanks to their ornate designs, you can always add a few more pieces on top, such as a lamp, books, frames, or pots of flowers.

Bombay chests can come in various sizes, from around 2’ to 6’ wide and around 3’ to 4’ tall. When looking for Bombay chests for sale and deciding on the size of the model you want, you should consider the size of the room you want to place it in.

Also, consider what you want to store in your Bombay chest before choosing the size. If you opt for a smaller chest, around 2’-3’, you could store guest towels and smaller cosmetics. If you want some more storage place for clothes, it is wise to choose a larger model to accommodate all your belongings.

Due to the Bombay chest’s ornate curves, the size of the chest may not accurately reflect the available storage space. Check the specs or measure the interior dimensions of the drawers and cabinets before making your purchase.
