Top of the Reuben Beman Jr. of New Marlborough, Ma, Chest on Chest ca. 1800, in walnut from the Winterthur Museum. My replica in 1985. Litchfield County, Ct.
Any case piece is a lesson in dovetailing and flat and square, but Chest- on- chests are especially so. The whole of the case is dovetailed, all of the drawers are of course dovetailed, and all of the drawer dividers are dovetailed from behind, and, thats just the construction craftsmanship, no one see's any of that, just show me the Jazz!
