New London County, Connecticut, 1770-1780, cherry with white pine secondary, four oxbow drawers set with bold, original batwing brasses, flanked by fluted inset quarter columns, on a dynamically scrolled base with ogee bracket feet, 29-3/4 x 40 x 20-3/4 in., waist 35 in. wide

Provenance: Purchased from John Walton, 1967; Property from the Collection of Dudley and Constance Godfrey

Note: With its "oxbow" facade, fluted quarter columns, and elaborately scrolled base, this chest is an exceptional example of eighteenth-century Connecticut craftsmanship. The scrolling is related of that on the base of a much less developed chest illustrated in New London Country Furniture, 1640-1840 (New London, Conn.: Lyman-Allen Museum, 1974), fig. 52.
