A striking and authentic Antique American Empire bowfront chest of drawers, featuring beautiful warm oak tones, classic curved drawer fronts, and original period craftsmanship.
This piece showcases hand-cut dovetail joinery, solid wood drawer boxes, and charming aged brass pulls. The Empire-style silhouette is elevated by its gently projecting top, rounded corners, and traditional bracket feet.
Perfect as a statement antique dresser, entry chest, or accent storage piece in a traditional, historic, or collected interior.
A true 19th-century piece with honest wear and character that only comes with age.
Maker / Provenance (Knoxville, Tennessee)
This chest is attributed to H&H Furn Co., Knoxville, Tennessee, a regional furniture maker and retailer known for producing and selling quality solid wood case pieces in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The presence of original construction methods (including hand-cut dovetails) and the classic Empire-inspired bowfront form suggest this piece was either crafted locally or distributed through H&H Furn Co. during Knoxville’s early furniture manufacturing era.
A wonderful example of East Tennessee furniture history, offering both functional storage and authentic regional provenance.
