Yellow pine typically points to a piece being Southern, but given the larger scale of this piece, it could be Pennsylvania as yellow pine was occasionally used there as well. Thus, its safest to say it is from a Mid-Atlantic state.

This chest fits the classic hallmarks of the Chippendale style of the mid to late 1700s with its prominent quarter columns, sweeping ogee bracket feet (high quality replacements), and thumb molding on the top and drawer faces. Made during or just after the American Revolution, it's timeless elegance paired with high quality craftmanship means it will continue to add beauty to any home. less
