Handsome Ernest Thompson Southwestern-style wood storage chest featuring the substantial construction and distinctive hand-finished detailing associated with the celebrated New Mexico furniture maker.
The chest is beautifully detailed throughout, with two large recessed geometric carved panels across the front, deeply molded surrounds, chip-carved accents, horizontal grooved detailing, exposed square wooden pegs, and a striking open lower gallery of sculptural hourglass-form balusters.
A particularly attractive detail is the carved and notched treatment running along the front edge of the top, which complements the geometric decoration below.
The large hinged top lifts to reveal a spacious interior storage compartment, making this an especially functional piece. It would be excellent for storing blankets, linens, pillows, books, games or other household items while serving as a substantial decorative furnishing.
The warm, softly aged wood finish and bold architectural construction give the chest the character of traditional Spanish Colonial and Southwestern furniture for which Ernest Thompson is known.
An impressive piece for a Southwestern, Santa Fe, Spanish Colonial, rustic, ranch, lodge or eclectic interior. It could function beautifully as a blanket chest, storage chest, hall chest, entry console or decorative accent piece.
