A William and Mary Chest on Stand
A William and Mary Chest on Stand
18th Century
Height 66 1/2 x width 40 x depth 20 1/2 inches.
Property from the Estate of Professor Ethan D. Alyea, Jr., Bloomington, Indiana European Furniture & Decorative Arts
Of cherrywood construction with pine and poplar secondary woods. In overall decent condition. Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. The feet show a rich, dark surface, though the rest of the case is more faded. The hardware, while aesthetically correct to the period, is replaced. Age cracks visible. There was a previous drawer pull and escutcheon treatment that was altered and patches put in place to cover the old holes and wear marks. Patches to the sides of the top and lower cases suggest that there were once carrying handles attached to each section. Two sections of molding detached, but retained (flanking the central drawer of the lower case).
