Vertical boards on the back of a William and Mary Pine Chest .

I have a early pine chest that the back panels are vertical . The Bun feet are mounted on runner boards are about 4" wide and run from front to back . I've seen these runners on Gilford / Saybrook Connecticut attributed chests . The molding on the bottom of the chest in narrow much like what I've seen on Connecticut chest ... But in all my research I haven't come across vertical back panels . Has anyone seen this on other blanket chests or chests of drawers ?

 

By all means, let us see photographs. I don't think it's definitive though if backboards are vertical or horizontal.

 

Thirded. Sounds like a beaut, but the experts (leaves me out!) can't see it without the photos.

 

Hi There.
Many new members have trouble uploading photos because they exceed the photo limit of 1MB. Here are some instructions on what to do.
These relate to how to upload from a phone:
Email your photo to yourself selecting size Medium. This will do the trick.

Here are two threads about how to resize pictures based on your phone type, if you need more help:
Resizing Photos On I-Phone | Antiques Board (antiquers.com)
Using an Android Phone For Pics on Antiquers | Antiques Board

If you are using a computer:
Then depending on what type of computer you have you can resize them. If you have windows 10, download them and then go to the bottom where the folder is; find the photo in downloads. Click on it and then right click it. You should see a resize option.
On an iMac, @cheersdeers recommends drag pics to desktop, double click on them, click on Tools and then Adjust Size by as much as half.

When you post your pictures, please make sure you click on Insert as "Full Image" at the top of your pictures

 

Well, I am guessing no photos are coming or issues getting them here?

 

I have seen vertical boards on several old (pre 1850ish) chests of drawers.
