High Chest of Drawers 1750–90 American There is no other Newport high chest with four clawand-ball feet with open talons and carving on all four knees. The design is a refinement of the Boston Queen Anne-style high chest: scrolls and shells in the skirt provide a sense of gracefulness and lift, while raised panels at the top harmonize with the shape of the hood. Note the “plum pudding” figure of the carefully chosen mahogany drawer High Chest of Drawers. American. 1750–90. Mahogany, chestnut. Made in Newport, Rhode Island, United States
