A striking chest dressed in highly figured burl veneer. Each of the five drawers is faced with several  veneered rectangles, each framed by a narrow band. The sides and the top are similarly treated, but with more expansive patterns in the veneer.

The back is made of four vertically mounted pine boards. The bracket base appears to be a nineteenth-century replacement. The period brasses have been re-attached, using screw mounts, rather than the original wires.

English, ca. 1740

Width: 37 ¼”; Height: 36 ½”; Depth: 20 ¾”
