Early 19th Century Federal Birds Eye Maple Chest of Drawers With Cherry & Poplar

With our highest compliments Bay Colony Antiques takes the utmost pleasure in offering this spectacular and rare early American chest of drawers. This chest is one of the finest examples of an American Federal period dresser having been made for a gentleman of considerable wealth sometime during the late 18th or early 19th century over two hundred years ago. The most notable aspect of this chest of drawers is that it was constructed with the finest selection of bird's eye maple hardwood available anywhere. We typically associate chests of this quality with similar furniture made in the American countryside as large cities are not known to host old growth maple trees and it is far more common to see such notable flitches of wood turned into veneers when used in the cabinet and furniture making shops associated with large cities. This stately chest has larger proportions making it well suited for a gentleman who required a commanding dresser for all of their various clothing and person
