Table Chests

Small table-top chests of this type were considered indispensable to the stylish in the 18th century. They are just as useful today—making a lovely first impression in your home. No one needs to know that it serves as a hiding place for your gloves, scarves, mail or car keys. The possibilities are endless of course. The pictured chest is made of cherry, constructed with hand-cut dovetailed joints and the addition of solid brass hardware. The chest has a clear lacquer finish.

Decorated Chest

This chest is an accurate representation of its German-American roots. Built of yellow pine for strength, the joints are hand dovetailed. The chest is hand decorated in the spirit of Johannes Spitler and other furniture painters of early America. These chests can be sized, painted and decorated to your preferences. We offer both solid brass and iron hardware. These chests come with one or two interior tills. We can also add drawers to chests.
