The chest features a serpentine front, molded top, 4 carved drawers with a "concealed"/secret central top drawer, shaped skirt and paneled sides. The dog-form hardware, although old and of the period, appears to be replacements. The old waxed surface has acquired a lush natural patina. Amazingly, the chest retains its key.
