The name highboy is derived from a corruption of the French bois (“wood”) and became common in English in the late 1600s. The prototype of the highboy was the chest of drawers on a stand with turned legs (i.e., shaped on a lathe). The lower section is usually wider than the upper. The upper section generally consists of another set of three or four drawers. The piece is topped with a cornice. The two sections are divided by wide molding. ****Treasure Island Interiors**** Considering how old it is and being well traveled in its lifetime, it is in very good condition. Minor signs of use consistent with age and normal, residential employment it has seen over the years, including some overall craquelure, minor veneer loss and bubbling on one side, and one drawer's dovetail joint is slightly loose. The above issues are of minor consequence and do not detract from the beauty of the piece, which remains very handsome and refined. The pictures are of the actual item you are purchasing, so please look at them closely to confirm its genuine, original condition and outstanding appearance, as they are part of the description. Comes from a clean, non-smoking, pet-free home. This fine piece represents spectacular value for money, and we have no doubt it will serve and delight its new owner for many years to come.
