Description: Rare early Victorian chest signed "J & J.W. Meeks, New
York"
on the inside of the top drawer. This piece has the original shaped
white
marble. The mirror has a fancy open carved crest and is suspended
between
two very delicately turned side spindles. There are five graduated
drawers
in the base with ring pulls. The top drawer has some compartments in
the
front. The entire mirror frame, crest, case and drawer fronts are
made of
the most lovely figured walnut. This chest is superbly made. I show a
photo here of the top under the marble - notice the quality of the
construction. This is a fine chest made by one of the periods premier
furniture makers!
