Description
Vintage Pennsylvania House block-front chest in a rich cherry finish with carved shell details, brass hardware and classic Chippendale/Georgian styling.
This is a substantial, well-built piece with four large dovetailed drawers, a shaped block/serpentine front, three carved shell motifs across the upper drawer, brass bail pulls, keyhole escutcheons and ogee-style bracket feet.
The inside of the drawer is clearly branded Pennsylvania House. Pennsylvania House was known for traditional American furniture, particularly solid cherry construction.
Dimensions are approximately:
38" W x 19.5" D x 36" H
Very good vintage condition overall. The finish presents extremely well, with only minor age/use-related marks visible on close inspection. Drawers are clean and feature traditional dovetail construction. Please see photos for exact condition.
This is a larger and more decorative version of the traditional Pennsylvania House bachelor/block-front chest and works well as a bedroom chest, entry chest, hall piece or accent dresser.
