Description
Federal style chest of drawers, circa 1821, walnut burl wood, with hinged top, opening to inscribed "H.I. H"initials above "West Point / Miss." (West Point, Mississippi), four drawers flanked by incised accents,hardware replaced in 2017 by a conservator
height 27.5 in. x width 40.5 in. x depth 18 in.
Condition: Professionally conserved and refinished in 2017
Conservator's notes: originally bore a marble slab top, which was damaged and hence replaced with a hinged cherry wood top, for easy viewing of original inscription. The choice of wood is unusual because it is not native to Mississippi and was not commonly used in that region and period.
Provenance: A Harrison family heirloom from distant grandfather
