Provenance: Collection of Carole Wahler, Knoxville, Tennessee
Note: This chest is closely related to an example documented in Neat Pieces, The Plain-Style Furniture of Nineteenth-Century Georgia, plate 84. The Neat Pieces example has two wave returns on the front skirt. The example here was formerly apparently adorned with two similar waves. The distinctive feet on both examples are characterized by solid moldings on the sides.
