SHAKER CHEST OF DRAWERS

 

This tall chest of drawers was strongly influenced by the Shaker style of furniture. The design originates from a similar piece made in the 1830's.

It is made of Imbuya which is a departure from the traditional cherry of the Shaker furniture and has walnut burl insets in the doors.

Size: 80" high by 41 1/2" wide and 22 1/2" deep.
