Featuring a dramatic double-scrolled or ogee-scalloped apron with little “ears” or returns flanking the center profile… the side feet show a vestigial “ball-foot” silhouette.
Lift-top with bold applied, and projecting cove molding above a case containing two false upper drawers disguising the deep blanket compartment behind and two working drawers below…all with overhanging thumbmolded edges. The base featuring early style robust molding is raised on cutout [ball foot silhouette] feet joining an outstanding dramatic Queen Anne / late-Baroque scalloped apron.
