Thank you for apprising us of the idiosyncratic method of construction adopted by the shop that made this high chest.
The leg turnings on the high chest remind me of those on two Philadelphia dressing tables, one at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the other sold at Christie's that was once owned by Dr. and Mrs. Donald A. Shelley: https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-5401638/. Do either of those tables share any similarities of construction with the high chest?
Yes they do and they're up next. I didn't include them here as there are no dustboards precent in turned leg high chest lower cases and dressing tables.
