Antique American Chippendale Red-Painted Chest of Drawers, New England, 18th C

About the Item

Chippendale Red-painted Chest of Drawers, New England, late 18th century. This chest features a molded pine case, having single-board top with large visible dovetails, fitted with five drawers, rising on shaped bracket feet, later brass bat-wing pulls. Shows some signs of restoration. Dimensions approx 45.75"h, 38.5"w, 18"d Acquired at an auction. **Provenance: O'Neill-Leonard Antiques, Westlake Hills, Texas** "There is an element of pretension about painted furniture," contends Indiana antiques dealer Don Walters. "People painted their furniture to simulate the more expensive woods they could not afford." Many 18th and 19th century Americans gave a rich look to affordable pine, poplar and maple pieces by embellishing them with colorful painted wood graining and free-hand and stenciled designs. Sometimes economy was secondary; many folks simply liked the look.
