This exceptional 19th-century American Empire chest of drawers showcases beautifully figured tiger maple grain across the drawer fronts, offering remarkable depth and visual movement. Designed in a practical "two-over-four" arrangement, the chest features two smaller top drawers perfect for smaller items, set above four spacious graduated drawers. Flanking the drawers are classic turned columns that terminate in sturdy block feet. It is fitted with elegant glass hardware pulls that complement the warm, glowing patina of the wood. This substantial statement piece is well-suited for a bedroom, foyer, or living space. Condition: Excellent antique condition with minor surface wear, light scratches, and imperfections consistent with age and honest use. There have been structural fixes made on the inside like reinforcing of the joints. There are square hand made nails and rough hewn dove tail joints. Styles: Traditional, American Empire, Federal See less
