Chest-on-frame

American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 723

The painted ornament on the upper front of this chest, with its crowned Tudor rose, Scottish thistle, and French fleur-de-lis, is typical of designs on furniture produced in the Guilford-Saybrook area of coastal Connecticut. The painted borders on the top recall the inlaid-veneer crossbanding found on high-style English furniture of the seventeenth century.
