Fine Baroque Walnut Serpentine Chest of drawers

Offered by: MJH Design Arts

Description
This is a good example of a Continental or South German serpentine-front inlaid walnut chest of drawers that dates to the first half of the 18th century. The smaller proportions of this chest make it comparable to an english Bachelors Chest. The figured walnut, inlayed with Circassian walnut and banding, combined with the serpentine form and bun feet add to the decorative value of the chest.
