This dynamic chest of drawers exhibits a distinctive characteristic of a group of cabinetmakers working in Colchester, Connecticut: the front ogee feet are dovetailed together, with the dovetails visible from the side. For a more in-depth discussion on this group, see Thomas P. Kugelman, Alice K. Kugelman and Robert Lionetti, Connecticut Valley Furniture, Eliphalet Chapin and His Contemporaries, 1750-1800 (Hartford, 2005), pp. 210-239 (Loomis and Lord Groups).
