Description: Fancy Walnut Victorian chest attributed to Mitchell's
and
Rammelsberg, Cincinnati, OH. The base is all burled with
serpentine front
graduated drawers with race track moldings and fancy carved pulls -
we have
had very similar bases that have been signed by Mitchell's and
Rammelsberg
in the past. The mirror has a fancy open carved crest, raised
burled panels
(burl has been replaced), applied carvings, curved candle shelves
with open
carved supports, drop finials and four fancy "Hershey kisses" on
either
side. The very top crest has definitely been married to the rest
of the
frame. It is debatable as to whether or not the top mirror frame
originally
went to the base. A very attractive chest!
Circa: 1860
Dimensions: 97.5"H x 49"W x 23"D
Finish: Good original
Price: $3500.00
