What form is this?

• A. Armour
• B. Tallboy/Linenpress
• C. Sideboard
• D. Chest on chest

Answer: (B)

This form is a tallboy/linen press. It’s defined by a tall, slender vertical profile with a stack of drawers, often with a small cabinet or doors at the top for linen storage. The height and drawer arrangement distinguish it from other forms: a sideboard is long and low for dining rooms, while a chest on chest is literally two chests stacked. The linen press variant emphasizes a cabinet-like upper section for linens, reinforcing the vertical, multi-drawer design that characterizes this form.
