Description
This chest is golden oak; it has fluted details on front corner vertical boards; bun feet with points; one bun foot has a slice missing. Chest has been stripped and revarnished (not perfect job). Drawers are presently being restored; infrastructure was worn out (runners at sides worn down). First attached photo doesn't show the chest well, but I can't upload a better picture until I get the repaired drawers back next week. Second photo (filename: 400.jpg), downloaded from a website advertising Widdicomb pieces, shows a chest whose style is very similar to my old item. Above the stamped mark "John Widdicomb Co., Grand Rapids, Mich." on the interior of the piece appears a grease-penciled mark that says, "1874-1940."
