The cornice of the chest is a broken pediment with circular cutouts and a tiered chalice finial. The front of the pediment has cross-hatching and forest designs. Centrally located is a decorated square drawer with a shell-like painting and a bat-wing bail pull. Molding outlines the drawer. Flanking the drawer are two rectangular drawers with bat-wing bail pulls. Below are four graduated drawers. Each drawer has two bat-wing bail pulls flanking shaped escutcheons.    The mid-waist trim molding is stepped and beveled. The lower case has two drawers at top side-by-side, each with an escutcheon that is also a bat-wing bail pull. Below those drawers are three square drawers. The outer drawers have bat-wing bail pulls and the central drawer has a bail pull and is decorated in cross-hatching and a painted shell design. The skirt of the lower case has cyma and ogee curves that may have once held drops. The cabriole legs terminate in pads."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/17/2018"},{"label":"Materials","value":"Maple; Red oak; White pine; Brass; Steel; Gilding"},{"label":"Style","value":["Queen Anne"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Date range provided by Historic New England."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1735 - D:00 M:00 Y:1745"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"Robert Davis was active in Boston as a japanner from about 1710 to 1739.

Whiting apprenticed under Davis, therefore, as Brock Jobe and Myrna Kaye state in New England Furniture: The Colonial Era (1984), pgs. 197-201, if there is a japanned object that appears to be the work of Davis (in comparison to other objects bearing his signature) was made after 1739, then it was likely by the hand of Whiting. In 2016, Tara Hingston Cederholm and Christine Palmer Thomson concluded that Davis japanned this piece based on similarities to a signed example of Davis's work ("'Tortoiseshell & Gold': Robert Davis and the Art of Japanning in Eighteenth-Century Boston," pg. 49-78)."},{"label":"Maker","value":["Whiting, Stephen, looking glass maker and retailer, gilder, and japanner, 1720-1789, active 1743-about 1773","Davis, Robert, japanner, -1739, active about 1710-1739"]},{"label":"Other Name","value":"Tallboy; Highboy; Case of drawers"},{"label":"Object Type","value":["Chest of drawers"]},{"label":"Object Use","value":"Case furniture"},{"label":"Category","value":"Furniture"},{"label":"Title","value":"High chest of drawers"},{"label":"Date Modified","value":"1/18/2019"}],"description":"High chest of drawers","sequences":[{"@type":"sc:Sequence","canvases":[{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/a3826e2c-d085-4c7d-9001-476425fd7d4b/canvas/_1","@type":"sc:Canvas","label":"High chest of drawers","height":1500,"width":938,"images":[{"@type":"oa:Annotation","motivation":"sc:painting","resource":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/a3826e2c-d085-4c7d-9001-476425fd7d4b/full/full/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","format":"image/jpeg","service":{"@context":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/context.json","@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/a3826e2c-d085-4c7d-9001-476425fd7d4b","profile":"http://iiif.io/api/image/2/level2.json","tiles":[{"width":512,"scaleFactors":[1,2,4]}]},"height":1500,"width":938},"on":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/a3826e2c-d085-4c7d-9001-476425fd7d4b/canvas/_1","metadata":[]}],"thumbnail":{"@id":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/a3826e2c-d085-4c7d-9001-476425fd7d4b/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","@type":"dctypes:Image","height":500,"width":500}}]}],"thumbnail":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/a3826e2c-d085-4c7d-9001-476425fd7d4b/full/500,500/0/default.jpg","logo":"https://iiif.quartexcollections.com/winterthur/iiif/logo"}
