- Lot Description
WINCHESTER AREA, SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA, FEDERAL CHERRY BUREAU / CHEST OF DRAWERS, the rectangular one-board top with applied edge molding and generous rear overhang above four graduated, scratchbeaded drawers flanked by applied reeded moldings to stiles, solid ends, raised on a fully framed base attached with glueblocks to the case and featuring a serpentine cut-out skirt and modified "French" foot. Retains majority original yellow pine blocking underneath. Old ownership label to interior of upper drawer with McKown name. Yellow pine and poplar secondary woods. Fine old surface with warm color. First quarter 19th century. 38 1/2" H, 41 1/8" W, 21 1/8" D.
Provenance: From a West Virginia private collection. Headley's Auction, Winchester, VA, 2004, McKown family estate, Stephen's City, VA.
Catalogue Note: This chest’s history, style, materials, and construction features all firmly align it with a small group of case pieces associated with a presently unknown cabinet shop or network of cabinet shops in the Winchester and New Market areas of the Shenandoah Valley. The skirt and more vertical foot profiles are nearly identical to a chest of drawers, a linen press, a child's chest, and a small spice/valuables chest, all in private collections, and a desk from the Houston family in the collection of The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley in Winchester, VA. Each of these pieces has a strong Winchester association and exhibits walnut as a primary wood, identical moldings and scratch-beading, distinctive, fine dovetailing to the drawers, and the characteristic framed base construction. Additionally, the discovery in 2009 by JSE & Associates of the signed James McCann desk from the Evans/McCann shop in New Market with remarkably similar style, materials, and construction, including the framed and blocked base, as well as a linen press in a private collection attributed to the same shop, adds another layer of information to that which has already been discovered about the group. Taken in total, all of this evidence points to, at the very least, a distinctive regional cabinetmaking style in the lower Shenandoah Valley marked by the construction of Hepplewhite-style case pieces on a fully framed base with modified French feet, using extensive glue-blocking to secure the frame to the dovetailed case. Research on this furniture group is ongoing.Very good condition overall. Brasses replaced. Minor repairs to drawer frames.Condition

Our account with UPS provides for a daily pick up, therefore no handling fee applies to packages shipped via UPS.
Special requests for alternate methods of shipping are acceptable, but may result in an additional cost to you.
We pack for shipping only upon request and we work in order of request.Once a package is ready to ship it is weighed, measured and processed through the USPS and/or UPS system in order to determine cost of shipping including insurance and additional services (e.g. delivery confirmation) as applicable.Shipping charges include a fee for packing time and materials. Our time is billed at $15.00 per hour and we use recycled materials whenever possible at no cost to the buyer. If purchased supplies (e.g. boxes) are used, that cost is passed on to the buyer as part of the packing fee.(Our $15.00/hour fee is prorated, therefore if a packing job requires 30 minutes and no purchased supplies, the total packing fee would be $7.50.)The actual cost of shipping/insurance and packing/materials cannot be determined until packing is completed. Once known, the shipping charges are applied to the buyer’s invoice and he/she is notified of the cost by email (or by phone if we have no email).We may pack/ship for 150-250 people after each auction. The entire post-auction process generally takes 2-3 weeks to complete.We work as quickly as possible, however, not everyone can be first in line.
