Christie's sale this month has a little something for everyone, from a Thomas Dennis pilgrim chest to a federal table by John Townsend, label dated 1797. Clocks,  late Classical, even a few victorian pieces, all in all, a very representative sale of American furniture that spans over 200 years.

Notice in the bombe that the inside faces are straight- saves a lot of time.
And the Dennis chest is very similar to another one that ended up in Fitzwilliam, NH (my home town) that was owned by the Meserve family and ended up in the Nicholson sale.-Al
 
Al, is that the "Reed" family chest in Fitzwilliam NH captioned in christies catalog  or is there another Dennis chest?
