Description: Lovely proportioned faux bamboo maple lockside chest
attributed to R. J. Horner, NYC. This piece has an original beveled mirror
(some silvering loss on back) with a fancy spindled top and returns. There
are five drawers in the bottom with the standard R.J. Horner turned bar
pulls. The right side has a hinged bar that swings open to release the
drawers. The lock is original but we don't have a key that works it. A
quarter round faux bamboo molding decorates the edge of each drawer, mirror,
top of the chest and side panels. The right side of the chest is a bit
darker than the left - it was likely in one spot for a number of years where
one side received more light. This chest is a fine example of Victorian
faux bamboo furniture in good original finish and nice narrow size!
