What makes this chest so special are the deeply carved scrolls above the floating front panels and the satinwood and ebony inlaid cross-banded parquetry border outlining the front panels and drawers.

This 18th century chest, which lifts open to reveal a spacious interior, was made by skilled cabinetmakers with solid wood construction, dove-tailed joinery and hand-forged rattail hinges.
