Description

Antique Farley & Loetscher Cedar Chest

This authentic cedar chest hails from the Farley & Loetscher Manufacturing Company, once renowned as one of the largest millwork plants. Boasting a history stretching back to its inception in 1875, this piece embodies the skilled craftsmanship and historical significance of the era.

  • Cedar Lined - Experience the natural fragrance and the moth-repellent qualities of the genuine cedar lining that offers both protection and preservation for stored items.
  • No Key - While this piece comes without the original key, it remains a functional and decorative item with its hinged top providing easy access.
  • Manufacturer Label Affixed Under Lid - Authenticity is confirmed with the original manufacturer's label, a testament to its storied provenance and craft heritage.
  • Queen Anne Legs & Pad Feet - The elegant, curvaceous form of the Queen Anne-style legs adds a timeless grace, characteristic of the classic furniture design period.

Condition:
The chest is in fair condition - an ideal restoration candidate.
Notable wear to the finish presents a storied patina, while chipping to the wood on the top and the edges of the legs is indicative of its age and authentic use.

Size:
With generous dimensions of 20" Height x 45" Width x 19" Depth, this chest offers ample storage and a stately presence.
