Vintage Hand-Crafted Mahogany Block Front Chest With Shell Carvings

Vintage Hand-Crafted Mahogany Block Front Chest With Shell Carvings. Beautifully made mahogany block front chest with shell carvings, inspired by the great 18th century Newport cabinet making families, the Townsends and the Goddards. This appears to have been a personal project, as the maker's name is in a brass plate mounted on the right side.

Solid mahogany, with carved shell detailing on the front. This pieces is a copy of one of the beautifully realized pieces produced by these two families.

The drawers have oak as their secondary wood, and are dovetailed on all four corners. The color is a medium red mahogany, with a satin level varnish - this is not a high gloss surface.

The top has a few use marks, extremely small and minor, but nothing that breaks the stain - very clean. The sides, front and feet are near mint to mint. The drawers are immaculate, and slide easily. Measurements: 36.5" wide, 20.25" deep and 32.5 tall. The item will be delivered directly to your residence or business.
