Description :

A little flourish, plenty of storage. This maple tall chest features five serpentine-front drawers, richly figured surfaces, and a coordinating mirror with scrolling supports and a carved crest. Dark metal pulls and decorative keyhole escutcheons contrast beautifully with the warm golden finish.

Details

• Five-drawer chest with curved drawer fronts and a shaped top.
• Bird’s-eye maple figuring across the drawer fronts and side panels; these decorative surfaces appear to be veneer over a wood substrate. Exact construction is unconfirmed.
• Paired metal bail pulls and ornamental keyhole escutcheons.
• Shaped lower apron and curved front legs with casters visible.
• Coordinating shaped mirror with scrolling supports and a carved decorative crest.
• Floral-pattern drawer liners.
• Bird’s-eye maple surfaces, apparently veneered over wood, with shaped wood framing and trim; exact construction throughout is unconfirmed.

Measurements

• Chest: approximately 36" wide × 18.5" deep × 51.25" high.
• Mirror: approximately 36" wide × 2" deep × 22.25" high.

Highlights

• Distinctive bird’s-eye figuring paired with graceful curved drawer fronts.
• Vertical storage with a coordinating ornamental mirror.
• Historical note: Decorative wood veneers have long been used in fine furniture to showcase richly figured timber. Veneer construction allows striking grain patterns, such as bird’s-eye maple, to be displayed across broad surfaces and does not by itself indicate lesser quality.

Condition

Used condition with scratches, scuffs, finish wear, and discoloration throughout. The top shows surface marks and uneven finish. Cracking and joint separation are visible in the upper side molding. Metal hardware has patina and discoloration. The bottom drawer has a slight separation at the drawer-front joint, creating a visible gap. Mirror glass shows spotting and cloudiness. Drawer operation, locks, casters, and mirror mounting security have not been fully evaluated. Please review all photographs, including the molding and surface close-ups.

Pickup

Please bring help to move and load the chest, protective wrapping for the mirror, and a suitable vehicle.
