Chest of Drawers

A rectangular top (originally a lid) over a deep drawer above three
cockbeaded and graduated drawers, original stamped oval brasses; case sides
extend to form straight bracket feet flanking a deeply serpentine skirt with large ogees and central half-round drop. Condition: missing veneer on the skirt and a section of cockbeading. Finish has broken down and now is crackled; originally would likely have been painted.
