Greetings,
        We encourage your emails or calls during the weekend as well. Thanks.

One of the most desirable categories of Americana is curly maple furniture. Sought for its rarity and radiating gold tones, this variety of wood has an iridescent quality that gives richness and depth to the surface. Today I'm very fortunate to offer four pieces in this wood. Above and below is Chippendale tall chest in the six drawer configuration with an overhang cornice above graduated drawers mounted with correct but later brasses. Below the case, tall original bracket feet are in bold form. H. 58", w. 38", d. 19".
