Mid-Atlantic States, Circa 1790
Height 35 3/4 x width 40 x depth 26 1/4 inches.
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
Condition
Width of case 38 1/4 inches.In overall fine and stable condition. Appears to retain a rich, historic surface, though possibly an early refinish. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Retains functioning locks and the key. The escutcheons and pulls are replaced, though aesthetically of the period. Few age cracks throughout. The lower three drawers each show two small circular patches where previous hardware had been fitted. Small patches to the bottom of the drawer dividers where the lock likely caught hold.
