Federal Bowfront Chest of Drawers - SOLD
New Hampshire, c. 1810
Mahogany with bird's-eye maple drawer veneers
Original brass hardware
42.25 x 43 x 19.5 inches

This amazing, untouched Federal chest of drawers retains a gorgeous, darkened, mellow surface. The oval brass pulls and escutcheons are original and have never been disturbed. The case features matched bird's-eye maple veneer drawer fronts and reeded turret columns with acanthus-carved capitals on all four legs. The swelled, tall, turned legs are the best New Hampshire has to offer. This is one of the finest and most sophisticated New Hampshire chests available.

Provenance
The Putney family from Putney Hill, Hopkinton, New Hampshire, where it has resided in the family for nearly two hundred years.
