Circa 1820 American Federal Hepplewhite Four-Drawer Dresser or Chest of Drawers

Fine American Federal Hepplewhite chest of drawers, circa 1820, distinguished by its restrained proportions, clean architectural lines and beautifully figured pine wood with a warm, mellow patina. The case features four full-width drawers fitted with its original oval brass bail pulls and decorative backplates, with a central keyhole on the upper drawer. Characteristic Hepplewhite design elements include slender square legs, a shaped apron with a distinctive central drop and the light, refined proportions favored during the American Federal period. An excellent example of early 19th-century American cabinetmaking, this antique Federal dresser or bureau combines elegant neoclassical simplicity with practical storage and beautifully aged surface character. As found in Maine!
