House Note · About this piece

On Nantucket, the whaling captains of the 1800s built handsome houses along Main Street, and in their bedrooms a good chest of drawers did the daily work of dressing: shirts folded, stockings sorted, a brush and a pocket watch laid out on top. This chest is made for that same routine. Its front is shaped in a block pattern, raised and recessed panels running from top to bottom with a scalloped edge, a classic New England design that gives a bedroom wall real character.

It is made from sustainably grown hardwood under a hand-applied finish with a soft sage rub that lets the edges show through. At 51.5 inches wide its drawers take a good share of a wardrobe's folded things, and at under 32 inches high the top is a handy height for a lamp, a tray and a mirror hung above.

Stand it in a bedroom for sweaters and linens, or in an entry with gloves and scarves inside and a bowl for keys on top. It also makes a fine base for a television in a cosy den. This listing is for one chest.
