Bay Colony Antiques is proud to offer for sale this wonderful 20th century bench made Chippendale antique style mahogany highboy / chest of drawers. This Salem Massachusetts design chest exhibits nice proportions and is in very good condition with vibrant mahogany drawer faces. The upper case features a 3 over 3 format with a shell carved center drawer, bonnet top, carved rosettes, & turned flame finials. The base section has two drawers with a matching shell carving along the lower drawer. The bottom most grouping of drawers is one full width drawer made to appear as three. We've always had a few highboys around the house but more often than not opt to use a good centennial or 20th century one for our clothes. This chest is in excellent condition free of odors and capable of holding a large wardrobe. The apron has an elegant scrolling pattern with floral carved volutes that enhance it's overall grace and appearance. The highboy measures 41" wide x 20 1/2" deep and stands 79" tall on finely formed cabriole legs with shell carvings at the knee & exceptionally well executed ball & claw feet.
