Solid camphor wood campaign chest in two parts and resting on turned feet. Sturdy construction with deep dovetailing and inset, flush mounted brass pulls. Ebonized stringing decorates each drawer front. Prized for its moth-repellant qualities, camphor wood -- a native Chinese species of evergreen -- was frequently used in the construction of sea chests. This particular example of campaign chest was probably produced in a busy harbor town or city.

This large chest of drawers in original paint retains its original knobs. An exercise in frivolity, it was originally a country piece dressed up slightly with a dark umber cross banding contrasting the gold and amber field that covers the rest of the case. However, the years have brought this chest past its humble beginnings and it would look beautiful juxtaposed with some of today's interiors with their modern lines and sparse décor.

Painted Three Drawer Chest

England. Circa 1770.

With its double string inlay of boxwood and handsome brasses, this antique bachelor's chest has just the right panache to look good in a bedroom, or as an end table out in the public living room. Its depth of 18" doesn't preclude it from duty in a front hall, either. The top has matching string inlay, but that inlay is not repeated on the utilitarian oak, pull out brush slide, which bears the scars of repeated cigarette burns and ink stains.

This mahogany chest with four graduated drawers and bracket feet has a deep cross banding of mahogany on the top and boxwood stringing to accent both the top and drawer fronts. Solid brass bail pulls, while difficult to determine if original, are very much of the period.

This large oak chest has four graduated drawers with unique panels for each drawer. Technically not a period Jacobean piece, it still faithfully hews the line with its sturdy construction, geometric paneling and bun feet.

Created at the end of the 19th century in the fashion of 100 years prior, this commode employs a fascinating mahogany referred to as "plum pudding" because of its wild, undulating grain. Attractively trimmed in brass and topped with a lively salmon marble, this commode features unique proportions that make it a little boxier than its period cousins, thus offering a classic look in a modern shape.

With its useful brush slide and handsome canted corners, this chest offers a good amount of storage space in a compact design. Four broad, graduated drawers ease the eye down to the tall bracket feet that keep the proportions from looking too compact and bring the height to a comfortable 33 ½ inches.

Not your garden-variety bow front chest (who would put a mahogany chest in the garden?), this chest has a string, contrasting band of satinwood the envelopes the top edge and string inlay on the drawer fronts. A traditional arrangement of two small drawers over three graduated drawers allows for ample storage in a chest with deeply grained mahogany and a distinct visual appeal.

France. Circa 1890.

Remarkable parquetry inlay work defines this mahogany and kingwood commode. A beautifully mottled marble top, block front, and deeply chamfered front corners are welcome design elements that give this commode a handsome profile. With brass ring pulls and ornate escutcheons, it presents a formal visage that would look just as well in a drawing room on Central Park West as it would at the palace at Versailles.
