Chest with drawer

American

Not on view

The painting technique employed on this chest is that of the Guilford-Saybrook, Connecticut school of painted furniture. Originally painted on yellow ground—a bit of which is still visible at the top of the left side—the floral elements are more limited and the compositions more formulaic than in earlier examples, (10.125.15; 10.125.16) suggesting a waning tradition.
