The shaped top of this antique Chippendale block front chest of drawers with bold molded edge, above a conforming case with four graduated drawers, rests on blocked bracket feet with center drop pendant. The chest possesses the restrained elegance found in the best Boston blocked furniture. The drawers retain the original brass hardware. Consistent with its Boston origins, the top board of the block front chest is dovetailed to the sides, with a molding applied to the ends of top in order to hide this joint.
