Case Piece · Portsmouth
Chest of Drawers
Artist unknown (American, 19th century) · Portsmouth · 1800–15
The serpentine form of the façade, the contrasting birch veneer in bold geometric patterns, the central drop pendant, and the beautifully curved French feet make this chest of drawers an outstanding example of 19th-century Portsmouth furniture. The chest retains its original stamped-brass hardware.
