19th C. Pastel Portrait of A Puppy, Susan Waters

18th C. Childs Chest

This very early chest was most likely for a child given its small size. Made entirely of pine, constructed with rosehead nails. It sits on bootjack legs, with an interior open till. The original cotter-pin hinges are long gone, having been replaced with but hinges sometime in the 1800s.

It is in its original "attic surface", dry and oxidized, with various scribed pinwheels on the front of the chest. Missing its lock. Measuring 24 1/2" wide by 11 1.2" deep by 16 1/2" tall.

A remarkably preserved piece!
