This is an American Sheraton chest circa early 19th century [1820-1840]. It is constructed from solid cherry with a warm, burnished tone with honest oxidation and patina that only time can accomplish. Cherry wood naturally darkens over time through UV exposure and will continue to develop a deeper, darker, and richer color.
It features four drawers with hand-cut dovetail joinery. They have classic oval brass pulls with centered decorative keyhole escutcheons. It sits on beautiful bracket feet.
All drawer stops have been repaired or replaced. Drawer stops must be appropriately sized and placed to prevent drawers from sticking out too far or tipping backwards. The bottom drawer was re-planed flat, so that it would slide without rubbing or sticking. The drawers were showing signs of deterioration with the drawer bottoms cracking and shrinking, causing them to be loose. All of these repairs have been made.
The drawers were very dry, so they have now been rehydrated. The drawer runners were severely worn after 200 years of use, so we removed them, flipped them over, and reinstalled them, giving them a new flat surface to glide on. The screws holding the top on had also become loose, so thicker screws from the same time period were used to secure it. Finally, a 2” portion of the back left leg was missing, so a new piece of wood was added and then color matched so that it blends seamlessly into the body.
This is a restoration where the story is honored, and the history preserved. Repairs were made carefully. Thoughtfully.
This one holds a quiet elegance. One that feels sophisticated, yet refined, in both a modern or historic home setting.
It’s sturdy, stable, and wonderfully dependable. It’s a piece that will easily last another 200 years.
