Description:
The base of a New Hampshire maple high chest cut down to make a dressing table. It has a single-arch molded flat top over a straight-sided body. There is a long top molded drawer over three short molded drawers, with an elaborately carved fan on the center short drawer. The skirt has flat headed arches, which are chamfered to relieve the edges, and two places that appear to have had two drop pendants. The base is supported on cabriole legs ending in raised pad feet.
