[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1812671, member: 5066"]Where are you located, where did you get the chest? It's a chippendale tall chest with dovetailed case & drawer blades. Is it period? maybe, maybe not. A few things stand out, the drawers are not graduated as they usually are, the backboard is attached in an odd way, it should not be visible when viewing chest from the side, the feet have very little definition (no spurs for example) and finally, the "dovetailed" drawer blades appear straight/flat and not flared at the ends as they should be.[/QUOTE]
