[Brandy{Ma.}]

Well this was a rare treat another MacIntire piece.I've been restoring high end furniture for over 20 years and only got to work on 5 or 6 of Samuel MacIntire pieces over the years.He worked out of Salem Ma.late 1700's into the early 1800's.I got to work on a game table earlier this year.This chest was miss a lot of molding round the top and draws.The back two cookies,with bad water and ink stains on top.This chest is called a four draw,bow front,with cookie corners top and book matched crouch mahogany draw front[1790's]with carved columns.He's piece are hard to come by,Most are in museums.One of his chair sold this summer for over $200,000.This chest is going up for sale at auction this weekend,it should do well.Enjoy.

the case and draws and waxed it with a black/brown wax I make.And refinished the top with a shellac I make from shellac flakes.Guess I put on about 5 or6 coats to match the rest of the chest.and waxed.
