Black Queen Anne Highboy Chest
This traditional Queen Anne style highboy chest features a black painted finish accented with ornate brass-tone batwing pulls and escutcheons. The case displays a broken-arch pediment centering a gilded fleur-de-lis finial, rope-twist corner columns, and a carved shell motif above the upper drawers. Constructed as a single-piece case piece, it offers generous multi-drawer storage elevated on classic cabriole legs with pad feet.
Background Note
The highboy form originated in late 17th-century England as a chest-of-drawers elevated on a coordinating stand, but it reached its stylistic peak in 18th-century colonial American cabinetmaking hubs such as Boston and Philadelphia. Recognized for its commanding verticality, the design frequently paired bonnet-top pediments and carved fan or shell motifs with graceful cabriole legs. Throughout the 20th century, American manufacturers widely produced Queen Anne revival versions as signature statement pieces for traditional bedroom suites.
