Magnificent Sheraton Carved Dressing Bureau w/ Brass, Salem

About the Item
Note the mirror brackets--which are twice as large as those found on the Boston example--and the magnificent acanthus carving and rosettes carved out of the same solid block as the bracket itself, not merely carved afterward and applied. If this weren't enough, the carved broken arch pediment above the mirror and central panel with reeded frame complete the tour de force. The actual case is equally impressive. Note the carved elements flanking the three upper drawers. If this weren't enough, it is mimicked once again in the lower case below the second tier of drawers with the remaining two drawers recessed below which provides a visual slimming of the piece. Also note the beautifully carved acanthus element with typical punchwork background above the legs.
If all of this carving weren't enough, the drawers are edged in brass instead of contrasting woods, the former of which was popular at this time in the early 19th century particularly continental French work.
We have been able to locate only one other example of the Salem dressing chest and mirror, and that was at the Flayderman sale in 1931. Note, while that example and ours both have double carved acanthus/wheat collonettes above the front legs, ours has a recessed lower set of drawers, as opposed to all being on the same plane, and a figured wood panel above the lower carved acanthus element. And, our example further has this panel repeated above the mirror, flanked by scrolls which is non-existent in this illustrated example. The grand flow of our mirror brackets speak for themselves.
We feel this is a major casepiece produced in Salem in the early 19th century, showing Salem as a city capable of producing great masterpieces.
