Baker Furniture Bow Front Banded Top Four Drawer Bachelor Chest - A single serpentine or bow-front chest of drawers manufactured by Baker Furniture, confirmed by an affixed oval metal plaque located inside one drawer. The piece is executed in dark hardwood, likely mahogany or mahogany veneer, reflecting a 20th-century Federal or late Georgian revival style. The chest features four stacked, bow-fronted drawers, consistent with the market identification of a Baker Bow Front Banded Top Bachelor Chest, often featuring a pull-out desk function in the top drawer. Each drawer is fitted with two oval brass bale pulls and a single brass key escutcheon. The case rests on bracket feet. The top surface is protected by a separate, custom-fitted piece of curved glass.
