Description:
Hepplewhite chest of drawers with a mahogany-veneered bowed front; string inlays on the top, around the four graduated drawers with their original brasses, and front of the base; plain cherry sides; scalloped skirt and French feet. The chest was sold in an auction of the belongings of Susan B. Hawks (1883-1946) in 1946. Ms. Hawks was a Sheldon descendent who last owned the Sheldon House before it was bought by Henry N. Flynt (1893-1970) in 1946. She had an antiques business in the house where she sold many locally-obtained pieces, so the chest may have been a family piece or one purchased from a local family.
