An Early Diminutive Cherrywood Queen Anne Highboy, Rhode Island, c.1750

This highboy is of small scale, only 36 inches wide, and is in pristine condition. The small Queen Anne brasses are all original and the secondary woods are chestnut, indicative of its Rhode Island origin. This highboy is indeed a lady…it has very fine long legs with a small scale chest above, and a traditional embellished skirt with scrolls on the side and drop finials, et al on the front, see details below. The construction throughout is finely crafted, indicative of Rhode Island craftsmanship.
This piece came out of a local estate in Rhode Island through a recently deceased local collector and was obviously treasured as an heirloom.

Height: 65 in. Case Width: 34 1/2 in. Overall Width: 36 in. Depth: 21 in.
