18th C Antique Pennsylvania Walnut Chippendale Semi Tall Chest / Dresser

With our deepest pride and greatest pleasure, Bay Colony Antiques is excited to present this exceptional 18th century York County Pennsylvania Chippendale chest of drawers to our clients around the world. We handle a considerable amount of York County case furniture year after year but can’t recall ever having a chest quite like this one. If we were asked to find this chest, or a comparable one, it would be an extremely difficult task, even with our tremendous volume. The chest was made from the best grade of American Black Walnut which was prevalent in Pennsylvania and was the most desirable domestic timber to 18th century cabinet makers. The chest possesses an extremely rare format with 5 graduated drawers with molded edges that are flanked by carved quarter columns on each side. The drawers have Tulip Poplar secondaries and were constructed with hand cut dovetails and hand chamfered panels. The chest has complete dust boards between each drawer which was commonplace in Pennsylvania
