The oak secondary wood and construction techniques like the quarter-moldings inside the drawers and four panel back all point the British origin. Along with the graceful inlay, the sweeping French bracket feet are key Neoclassical designs, which was the prevailing style in Britain in the late 1700s. The expensive materials and high-quality craftsmanship all point to this piece being manufactured in a larger city for wealthy clientele.

While this chest has suffered some veneer loss along the bottom, it is still retains its elegance, and beauty. Whether you style it in bedroom or living space, it will add character and refinement wherever it lives. less
