A Carved Mahogany Chippendale style Blockfront Bureau, Newport, Centennial
This bureau came to us from a deceased collector's estate. It was made at the turn of the century, or thereabouts and is a perfect replica-in both material and workmanship-of the original famous Townsend-Goddard school bureaus that are in the million dollar price range. The carving of the shells is absolutely correct as are the proportions. The drawers and construction are similar to a period one, and what they lack is another hundred years in the aging process.
