Chest
Not on view
Chests used for household storage were common in seventeenth-century homes. This lift-top chest is embellished with carved motifs that are characteristic of the decorative vocabulary of the earliest New Haven joiners, including the carved arches in the panels, the lunettes on the upper rail, the paired leaves on the lower rail, and the rosettes on the stiles.
