Description: Magnificent Renaissance Revival Victorian birdseye maple
gentleman's chest signed "Herter Bro's" on the back. We had a gold tooled
green leather inserted into the top. The case has two drawers over five.
The moldings around the top, drawers and side panels as well as the feet and
pulls, are made of mahogany. This contrast sets off the beauty of the
lighter birdseye maple. There is a line incised carving around the drawers
and side panels. Two fluted quarter columns are on each side of the case.
"Herter Bro's" is branded into the back and the original brass key is in the
shape of an "H". Herter would custom make items for his wealthy clientele
and this chest was custom cut in the rear bottom to accommodate a specific
base molding. We had the original finish French polished (not stripped and
refinished). We very seldom find pieces signed by this foremost of
Victorian furniture makers!
