The brass pulls appear period appropriate and may be original or early replacements; originality has not been definitively established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chest has several characteristics associated with Southern Federal\/Sheraton furniture, particularly examples from Tennessee, Kentucky and the broader Upper South: the probable cherry primary wood, tall proportions, reeded front pilasters, contrasting lightwood inlay, paneled case construction, shaped skirt and four turned feet. Closely related Southern chests are known with cherry primary woods and poplar secondary woods. These features make a Southern origin a meaningful possibility; however, the secondary woods have not yet been conclusively identified and no maker or specific regional school has been established. It is therefore offered as American Federal\/Sheraton, possibly Southern, rather than with a definitive Southern attribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent antique condition consistent with approximately two centuries of age and use. Surface shows expected scattered scratches, marks, abrasions, color variation and wear. Interior drawer and case surfaces exhibit age, some small holes, oxidation and use wear. A split is visible to an interior\/lower structural rail, and there is evidence of minor old adjustments\/repairs associated with the drawer runners. Locks are present; keys are not included.  Moving\/inventory labels remain on the rear of the case. Please review photographs for additional condition details.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Jacobs Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50580848967930,"sku":null,"price":2150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/8614\/4762\/files\/200DBE7E-8401-4079-BD38-0DABD523F59F.jpg?v=1790699192","url":"https:\/\/pauljacobsantiques.com\/products\/american-federal-sheraton-inlaid-cherry-chest-of-drawers-circa-1815-1825","provider":"Paul Jacobs Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
