High chest of drawers

American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 711

The striking maple burl veneers that create a pattern of arches draw immediate attention to the upper front of this high chest. A burl is a dome-shaped growth on the trunk of a tree that is sliced though to make veneer.
