With such spectacular flame grain mahogany and timeless Neoclassical style, what more could you ask for in an antique chest? It commands attention, especially in good lighting, with the cross-banded veneer outline along the top drawer providing extra visual intrigue.
Built in the Neoclassical style of the late 1700s and early 1800s, the exceptional quality of the mahogany veneer points means this piece came from a wealthy city. The poplar secondary wood makes it American, likely from a Mid-Atlantic coastal state. The dainty turned feet add a lightness and grace that might otherwise be lacking from a chest of this size. The use of cross-banded mahogany veneer confirm it was made in the early 1800s.
The beauty and character of antique furniture like this piece truly cannot be replicated in modern reproductions. And given the drawers operate as smoothly as modern pieces, it is just a functional.

Additionally, there are several missing veneer pieces along the top edge and bottom edge as pictured. They are not as noticeable from afar as the wood has been stained to mask the missing pieces. As noted in the description, all of the drawers slide smoothly. less
