Examples
-
Made of thick boldly grained mahogany and exceptionally constructed, this chest displays a dramatic well-proportioned design, which with its swan's neck pediment, urn and flame finials, fan-carved central drawer flanked by drawers paralleling the cornice, fluted pilasters, and shaped lower case, follows a classic eastern Massachusetts cheston - chest design with the additional rare refinement of the bombé lower case.
