Antique 19th Century Victorian Walnut Chest of Drawers Three Drawer Dresser 40"

Description

A beautiful American Victorian era dresser. Made from walnut with three dovetailed drawers and chamfered corners. The drawers are dovetailed via the Knapp Joint. Features carved fruit and nut pulls and porcelain casters.

The Knapp joint was developed during the late Victoria Era in post Civil War United States. Patented by Charles Knapp of Waterloo, WI in 1867, the Knapp Joint was a huge breakthrough for the furniture industry; machines called routers made circular cuts in wood far quicker than by hand. The Knapp Joint is particularly unique to furniture as it was only used from 1870 until 1900. It is also referred to as the Pin and Cove Drawer.
