Description

Rare Queen Anne Inlaid Walnut Schrank

probably Chester or Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

Dated 1756


Appears to retain its original surface and cast brass hardware. Inlaid SB 1756. Legs replaced.

Height 81 3/4 in. by Width 39 in. by Depth 24 1/4 in.

With its large tombstone paneled door flanked by applied vertical glyphs, this piece could justifiably be considered a "diminutive" schrank. The whale's tail central drop relates directly to the central skirt ornament found on many mid-eighteenth century Queen Anne dressing tables.
