Although hall chests are used for storage, they are different from conventional storage chests. As the name suggests, they are for hallways. Unlike storage chests, they stand on four legs. The legs can be straight, curved or “s” shaped. They may or may not have movable lids. You can buy modern ones without lids and with flat tops that can be used for placing items of display. They have drawers for storage.
Hall chests can keep your hallway from looking barren and boring by sprucing it up. The beauty of a hall chest can be in the design of the drawers, pulls and knobs. Antique ones are inlaid with gold-plated highlights and etched metal accents that make them dazzle in your incandescent lighting.
