Mahogany Chest of Drawers
This block-front chest of drawers is a reproduction of a John Townsend bureau, circa 1785–1790, on display at the Yale University Art Gallery. Boeff used drawings provided by the gallery to reproduce the piece. The crosshatching detail in the center of the carved shells is rare—Townsend used it on this piece and only one other, Boeff says.
