This French-inspired chest of drawers from The Cotswold Company is an elegant addition to your home. It has seven drawers so you can neatly organise your belongings, and is low enough to display photos and ornaments on the top. This piece comes with polished handles and painted wooden ones so you can choose a style to suit your space.
Our Stylist Says
I love the Cotswold Company Chantilly 7 Drawer Wide Chest for its clean, classic design that works well in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Its white finish makes it versatile, brightening up any room while providing ample storage. It’s great for bedrooms, living rooms, or even hallways, offering practical organisation without compromising style. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with understated accessories like a vase of fresh flowers or a few personal mementoes. You could also add a colourful tray or decorative bowls on top to create a more personalised vignette. Its generous width and substantial drawers make it a practical choice for keeping clutter out of sight, while the simple aesthetic keeps the look polished and timeless.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
