This is a detailed drawing of a "Chest of Drawers" by Thomas Chippendale from his iconic "Chippendale Drawings, Vol. II". The drawing, dated 1753, showcases the design for a tall chest of drawers with seven drawers, highlighting the detailed construction and the elegant curves of the design. This drawing, like other works from the volume, was intended for cabinetmakers and woodworkers as a guide to constructing furniture in the popular Chippendale style. The "Chippendale Drawings" became a cornerstone of English furniture design during the 18th century and are considered highly influential works.
