Attributed to Logan County . Circa 1820.  Cherry primary and poplar secondary with old refinish. Mortise and tenoned construction.  Rectangular case with medial divider separating the front into 2 panels over 2 drawers.  The single end panels are highlighted by beveled rails.  The center divider is shaped.  The high style, intricately turned feet are constructed of 2 pieces of cherry and applied with a block to the bottom of the chest.  The feet on the left facing side of the chest are original, with bug damage to the rear foot.  The opposite feet must have suffered more severe bug damage and have been expertly reconstructed using about a third of the original turnings.   The hinged top has cleated ends and is attached to a stationery piece across the back.   The locks on case and drawers are original.  The drawers are dovetailed with chamfered bottoms riding in rabbets and nailed at the back.  The bottom of the chest is two large boards sitting in rabbets, slid in from the back of the piece.
