Carved Mahogany Federal Bureau, Salem, c.1830

This is a bureau of monumental stature and size. The case itself is comprised of a bow-front chest of drawers of the finest matched mahogany that radiates a glorious reddish amber color. This piece is embellished with just about all the bells and whistles one could expect. Take a moment and go through the various close-ups. Note the carved embellishment below the chest of drawers, both above and below the apron.
