A stately and beautifully proportioned Sheraton chest of drawers, crafted in solid mahogany with stunning grain patterns and a warm, rich patina. Dating to circa 1814, this chest features an impressive deck-top design with three small drawers above a larger case, offering a total of eight drawers for exceptional storage. Each drawer is adorned with its original turned wooden knobs and hand-cut dovetail construction, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of the period.
The column-form stiles flanking the case are elegantly hand-carved with reeded detailing and subtle acanthus leaf motifs, a hallmark of high-quality Sheraton design. The chest stands on gracefully turned and tapered legs, lending a refined lightness to its substantial form. The graduated drawers provide a balanced and sophisticated aesthetic, making this a standout Federal-period furniture piece. Notably, the back of the case is chisel-marked “XIV”, which may indicate an 1814 date of manufacture, adding to the historical significance of the piece.
In very good antique condition, with age-appropriate wear, including some well-blended veneer repairs that are unobtrusive and do not detract from the overall beauty of the piece. A timeless and elegant example, perfect for collectors of early 19th-century American furniture or those looking to add a touch of Federal-era sophistication to their home. 48h x 45w x 20d
