Chest
Attributed to Nehemiah Randall American
The architectural motifs on this chest suggest that Nehemiah Randall may have been trained as a carpenter rather than a cabinetmaker. The fluted central oval and the borders of painted dentils and rosettes are borrowed from architectural details of Federal-period houses. The oval and the arches decorating the skirt were laid out with a compass and ruler.
