Impressive Renaissance Revival walnut Victorian chest
Price: $4395.00
Circa: 1870
Dimensions: 92.5″H x 53″W x 23″D
Finish: Good original
Impressive Renaissance Revival walnut Victorian chest with an original white marble top (some normal staining on marble). It has a wonderful open carved crest with an incised carved burled panel and a fancy drop finial that is reflected in the mirror. The sides of the mirror frame have fluted burled panels, rounded candle cups, carvings and boxes on the bottom with burled tops and carved pulls.
The base has three regular drawers and a “secret” drawer on the bottom. The finish on the bottom drawer has some scuffing and scratches - normal for a chest that has been used over the years. The burled drawer fronts have ornately carved centers around the key escutcheon. The top drawer has a compartmentalized maple interior. The corners of the case have a lovely combination of half columns, carvings, burled panels and cut outs.
