About the Item
A spectacular Georgian design highboy or chest on chest was hand carved about 1876, celebrating the "Centennial" period of American independence. Solid mahogany was sculpted by a master carver with authentic ball and claw feet, flame finial and shell motifs. The original finish is very well preserved with warm antique patina.

Two separate pieces for easier moving, This is a wonderful piece of American history celebrating our first 100 years of independence from English monarchy.
