This handsome Depression Era chest of drawers, crafted from warm mahogany, captures the graceful transition of early 20th-century American furniture design. The refined silhouette, delicate swan-neck pediment, and carved neoclassical swag motifs on the upper drawers add a touch of elegance that speaks to the period’s desire for beauty and formality during difficult economic times. The two narrow top drawers paired with three full-length lower drawers follow a traditional arrangement that remained popular through the 1920s–1930s.
The chest retains its original brass pulls, each with lovely classical detail that complements the decorative carvings above. The mahogany surface shows attractive grain movement and a rich, deep tone that has mellowed gently over the decades. The piece stands on tapered legs ending in brass casters—another hallmark of the period—making it easy to reposition within a room.
In nice antique condition consistent with age and use, the chest shows expected light wear to the finish and subtle surface marks, all of which contribute to its authentic presence. This is a versatile and beautifully made storage piece with strong decorative appeal, perfect for a bedroom, hallway, or study. As with all of our pieces, it is photographed and described clearly so you can buy with confidence. 49h x 38w x 22d
