probably Maryland, 18th century, the front with inlaid initials "HD", possibly for Henry Dodson of Talbot County, hinged lid with open interior with lidded till, poplar bottom board, original shaped bracket feet, 16 x 38 x 16-1/4 in.

Provenance: Accompanied by letter dated 1929, "The walnut chest you bought was brought to this country from England in 1732 by Henry Doddson? who settled in Talbot County. The chest goes back beyond this date." The letter is from George W. Carey, Headquarters for Antique Furniture, St. Michael's, Maryland. While the origin is clearly incorrect, the Maryland history and family name associated with this chest are likely accurate.
