About the Item

American Federal Walnut Tall Chest Of Drawers With Fluted Columns Pennsylvania, circa 1810-1820 A distinct transition into the Federal Period, this fine Pennsylvania Tall Chest of Drawers exhibits the classical architecture of the Chippendale era adapted for the Neoclassical taste of the early 19th Century. Retaining it's original oval pulls, these with roses embossed inside an infinite double loop and entirely untouched feet, this is a particularly desirable object for collectors. The concave crown molding is bold, aggressively projecting over the unembellished case of three small drawers over five graduated full drawers. The sides of the case extend through the feet, making the interior blocking of the feet an integral part of the case and something permanent - much of the reason the feet have survived in such extraordinary condition. The backboards are untouched and typical of the period with neat rows of square forged iron nails affixing the backboards to the case. Each drawer is of fine craftsmanship, the tidy hand dovetails crisp and perfect, the pine plank bottoms chamfered on the sides and front to be set in grooves along these edges; all drawers are tacked at the back edge with three hand forged nails. Protecting the contents of one drawer is a full dust board, the other drawers with partial dust boards over the first one-third. Flanking the drawers are the deeply fluted Corinthian columns with turned bases and caps so commonly found in chests of this region. As a well preserved and absolutely stunning object of Early Pennsylvania, particularly interesting for the meld of Federal and Chippendale designs and it's very fine craftsmanship, this is an outstanding investment grade work of art that was built to last and if well cared for will last long beyond our lifetimes. Materials: Poplar (most drawer framing, backboards, dustboards, bottom and top); Pine (some drawer framing, drawer bottoms); Walnut (all primary surfaces, integral foot blocking) Measurements: 62 15/16" H x 43" W x 22 13/16" D Condition Report: Original hardware, the pulls well polished. Untouched original feet. Drawer lip losses and chips, one more significant to top left edge of third wide drawer from the top. Dings, abrasions and scratches throughout to the later surface. All escutcheons replaced. Lock missing in bottom drawer. No key. We have many additional images available on our website or upon request.
