More About This Item
This Kindel highboy is a stately example of American Queen Anne design, made in Grand Rapids, long a center of fine furniture making. Its scrolled bonnet top is crowned with three carved flame finials, which are removable for safe transport. Carved fan motifs on the upper and lower drawer banks and cabriole legs ending in pad feet are the style’s signature details.

Eleven drawers in a stacked arrangement make this a serious storage piece for a bedroom or dressing room. Each drawer is dovetailed and fitted with traditional brass batwing pulls. Two keys are included for the main center drawers, and the original Kindel literature comes with the piece. The finish has a warm glow that shows off the grain.

Its architectural height suits historic homes, Colonial Revival and Williamsburg-inspired rooms, and New Traditional interiors that mix period references with modern living.

Design Style
Highboys originated in England in the late 1600s and became a staple of Colonial America through the 18th century. Their two-part construction offered generous storage while adding height and presence to a room. Finials and carved detailing were especially favored in Philadelphia and Boston, where the Queen Anne style flourished.
