Chest Of Drawers |
Description |
A four drawer Hepplewhite bow-front mahogany dresser with ovolu columns that are turned and reeded. The drawer fronts have matched flame veneer of burl walnut, and the drawers feature dovetailing. Drawer runners were reversed because of wear, but are original. The feet are turned and there is a scalloped apron. The embossed round brass handles appear to be original, as is the finish. This is from the Cabot-Lee-Kilham house. It is reasonable to think that it was the property of Captain Abraham Kilham (1765-1834) because of its age. |
