ITEM SW01431:
A Tiger Maple Chest, Rhode Island, c.1770
This tiger maple chest
has magnificent tiger on the drawer fronts. It doesn't
come any better. The feet are quintessentially Newport.
They have the famous ogee form on a slight platform.
The piece is in a perfect state of preservation. The
brasses are appropriate replacements. While many of
these bureaus have simple bracket feet which make
it hard to determine much about origin, this chest
has feet that are not often seen and clearly point
to the Newport/Rhode Island location of manufacture.
Height: 37 1/2
in. Overall Width: 36 in. Case Width: 34 1/2 in. Depth:
18 in.
