Chippendale serpentine chest circa 1750-80 with ball and claw feet made from pear, mahogany stained and French polished.

The draws have dovetail joints, hand made brass handles, imitation locks with a key and panel bottoms.

For the first time I have made dust panels.

Dust panels are panels between each draw, originally made to protect the contents from dust or soot ( most rooms had open fires ).  Once the draw was locked it prevents access to the contents by removing an unlocked upper draw.
