At Canonbury Antiques we carry a range of French and antique chiffoniers. In French, the word chiffonier means 'rag picker' and suggests the furniture was originally used as a recepticle for odds and ends, a bit like a 'whatnot'. The English definition of the term is of a sideboard often with a raised bookshelf on top. To add more confusion, the American definition and useage of the word chiffonier denotes a tall chest of drawers a tall boy frequently surmounted by a mirror. Many of our antique chiffoniers are on display in our North London / Hertfordshire Canonbury Antiques showroom so please get in touch if you would like to make an appointment to view. We can also ship them to anywhere in the world so get in touch for a shipping quote.
