Majestic large walnut Victorian full princess chest with original
white rounded corner marble tops (some minor stains in marble). The top
deeply open carved crest has an incised carved raised shaped shield in the
middle. The original arched top mirror is bordered by a thin fancy
molding. The mirror is flanked on each side with a fancy half round candle
cup and open carvings. (The support for the left candle cup is replaced by a
previous owner) There are four drawers on each side - each having two round
wooden pulls within a round molding. There is some old writing in pencil
under the marbles with a date of 1866. More recent writing indicates the
former owner as being from Oyster Bay, Long Island (see photo). We very
seldom find full princess chests - ones that have a full length mirror
between the two banks of drawers. It has a duel function of providing a
full length dressing mirror with drawer space on either side. A classic,
rare Victorian chest in an attractive and useful form!
