- Lot Description
Inscribed 'John Rob' (erts) on underside of the top board.
In two parts; 6 ft. x 40 1/4 in. x 22 in.
Note: This fine chest is the touchtone piece for a group of case furniture ascribed by Dr. Thomas and Alice Kugelman to the "John Roberts Group". The group includes eleven pieces: four bonnet top high chests, three flat top high chests and four dressing tables. Its design signature is the apron's flat central section. The shop also has the fastidious manner of extensively chamfering the inner edges of the lower case. For a detailed list of attributes, see Thomas P. Kugelman and Alice K. Kugelman with Robert Lionetti, Connecticut Valley Furniture: Eliphalet Chapin and His Contemporaries, 1750-1800, Hartford: Connecticut Historical Society Museum, 2005, p. 110-1.
