Tiger Maple New England 1825 Antique Chest or Dresser

Hand crafted of solid tiger, striped or curly grain maple about 1825 in New England, this understated chest or dresser has glowing antique patina. The glowing finish is in excellent condition with just enough mars at the edges for antique character.

Cut from a single wide plank, the top has an old hand carved plug at the back, whether as a repair or to fill a knot, we will never know. Entirely hand planed with some square nail heads visible, drawers have chamfered bottoms and hand cut dovetail joints. The right side has a shrinkage separation from age. Embossed brass pulls are likely original on this beautiful Yankee heirloom.

Size is 42" wide, 19" deep and 34" tall.
