Davis Cabinet Company Cherry Spool Turned Tall Chest of Drawers - A vertical tall chest of drawers crafted from solid cherry. The piece features a transitional design characterized by prominent spool-turned detailing along the front stiles and base rails, a style often associated with the Jenny Lind aesthetic. The chest is configured with five graduated drawers, each fitted with two circular flat-faced wooden knobs. The primary wood is cherry with a reddish-brown finish, while the secondary wood visible in the drawer interiors is a light-colored hardwood, possibly oak or ash, exhibiting a prominent medullary ray flake pattern. The drawers are constructed with machine-cut dovetail joinery. The chest is supported by four turned spool legs that continue the decorative theme of the stiles. An adhesive rectangular metallic-finish label is affixed to the interior of a drawer depicting a woodworker at a workbench and reading DAVIS CABINET COMPANY, Craftsmen of Fine Solid Wood Furniture, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE. 40 x 21.5 x 48.5 inches.
