About the Item

This Antique Cherry Late Federal Paw Foot Four Drawer Chest, dating to around 1840, is an exceptional piece of American furniture from the Federal period. Crafted from rich cherry wood, the chest has developed a deep, warm patina over time, showcasing the natural beauty and grain of the wood. The top drawer is simply designed, while the lower three drawers feature intricate grain patterns that add texture and visual interest. The chest is fitted with brass hardware, which enhances its elegance and functionality. At each corner, the spiral-turned columns contribute to the classical aesthetic, while the dramatic paw feet provide a traditional touch that adds strength and presence. These carved elements are characteristic of Federal design, offering both refinement and sturdiness. The four drawers provide ample storage, making it both a practical and decorative addition to any space. It’s worth noting that there was once a backsplash atop the chest, but this feature has been lost to time, which only adds to the story and history of the piece. In excellent condition, with minimal signs of age, this chest continues to be a standout example of Federal-era craftsmanship. Its combination of warm cherry wood, intricate carvings, and paw feet make it an elegant and functional piece that would fit beautifully in any home, offering both historical significance and practical storage. 50h x 48w x 23d
