Re: Ed Roos Co Sweetheart Cedar Chest

The Roos company was in business from 1916 - 1951, operating in Forest Park Illinois. The company produced these chests in all the popular styles from Colonial to Art Deco. Your chest is in what is referred to as "Waterfall style", the style getting it's name from the curved top. Most of these pieces Most of these chests are composites, mixing features from English period furniture from Elizabethan to early Georgian II.  Values vary considerably for these chests, depending on quality of construction, wood type, but damaged examples like this one sell for less than $100.00
