RARE PIEDMONT VIRGINIA CHIPPENDALE CHERRY SPICE / VALUABLES CHEST, the diminutive form featuring raised-panel door concealing bank of eight small drawers, the whole raised on an applied cut-out bracket-foot base exhibiting stylized spurred profile. Yellow pine and white oak secondary woods. Retaining a fine old surface with rich color. Fourth quarter 18th century. 15 1/2" H, 14" W, 9 1/4" D.

The important collection of H. Marshall Goodman Jr., Richmond, VA.
Descended in a Richmond, VA family.

Very good overall visual condition with minor scattered wear and discoloration. Hinges replaced. Minor pieced repairs to three interior drawers. Central drawer is a replacement, or more likely conjectural, as there is no evidence of expected wear in the central cubby from the repeated action of removing and replacing a drawer, if such were originally in place.
