An inspiring example of classic 19th century design, this Bowfront Chest features curved drawer faces with dovetail joinery and challenging French feet. Originally built by Alden Spooner in 1807, the model for this chest was being stored out of public view in Old Sturbridge Village, a recreation of an 1830s New England Village. Norm, who is a trustee of the museum, asked the curators to put the chest on display in one of the Village’s historic homes to inspire his New Yankee viewers. The finished chest will serve as an inspiration to all. Includes measured shop drawings. Measures 40"L x 22"W x 36"H.
