Chester County Chippendale Spice Box on Frame
Ca. 1750
-
42.5" high, 21" wide, 19.5 deep
-
This is a unique piece I designed using Chippendale features, such as Philadelphia style ball & claw feet, shell carvings, and cabriole legs. The base is similar to an ornate Philadelphia Chippendale stool or chair.
-
The frame and panel door has a lunette panel that is rarely seen in the originals.
-
Curly cherry drawer fronts.
-
William and Mary hardware hand forged in England.
-
All my spice boxes feature secret hiding places, but there are 14 secret compartments in this piece! A few are pictured here; I dare my customers to find them.
-
14 visible drawers plus 14 more hidden drawers.
-
-
$ 26,500

This piece took 6 months to build.
