- Lot Description
Probably Southeastern Connecticut, 1765-1785
Cherrywood chest with rectangular top with molded edge over four graduated drawers, each with original batwing brasses, flanked by twisted columns, ogee bracket feet.
H, 23 in., W. 22 in., D. 11 1/4 in.
Note: This exquisite chest-of-drawers exhibits a distinctive construction method employed by a small group of cabinetmakers working in Southeastern Connecticut in the 1760's - 1780's. The drawer sides taper gently so that they are noticeably thinner at the top and greater at the bottom to allow for the rabbitted interior edge of the drawer bottom to be fitted. As part of an ongoing study of early Southeastern Connecticut furniture, Robert Lionetti has found this purely aesthetic detail on about a dozen survivals from the area. For a similarly constructed work, see the Devotion family dressing table sold, Christie's, New York, 17-18 January 2008, lot 445 and illustrated in Jane Katcher, David A. Schorsch and Ruth Wolfe, Expressions of Innocence and Eloquence, Selections from the Jane Katcher Collection of Americana, Volume II (New Haven, 2006) pp. 77-89.
