More About This Item:
This Kindel Furniture Queen Anne-style highboy is a striking example of classic American craftsmanship. Made in Grand Rapids, Michigan—long considered a hub of fine furniture making—this piece features eleven drawers in a stacked formation, offering not only elegance but practical storage for the bedroom or formal dressing room.
The highboy’s scrolled bonnet top is crowned by three carved flame finials, adding vertical drama and echoing the decorative traditions of early 18th-century England and the American colonies. The carved shell motifs on both the upper and lower drawer banks are quintessential Queen Anne flourishes, as are the cabriole legs ending in pad feet.
Each drawer is built with precision dovetail joinery and adorned with original brass batwing pulls. The cherry or mahogany finish (dependent on wood species, to be verified) glows with rich warmth, showcasing the quality grain and hand-applied craftsmanship Kindel is known for.
A cornerstone of Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Williamsburg-inspired interiors, this highboy chest also complements New Traditional spaces that blend historic references with modern living. Ideal for those curating a stately bedroom or antique-rich dressing suite.
Historical Note:
Highboys—also known as tallboys—originated in England in the late 1600s and became popular in Colonial America throughout the 18th century. Typically crafted in two stacked sections, they allowed for substantial storage while adding architectural height to the room. The addition of elaborate finials and scalloped detailing was particularly beloved in Philadelphia and Boston, where the Queen Anne style flourished.
