Vintage Chippendale Highboy Chest of Drawers Mahogany Ball and Claw Kindel c1950

Vintage Chippendale Highboy Chest of Drawers Mahogany Ball and Claw Kindel c1950.

Classic and timeless, this majestic 7 ft. tall vintage Chippendale highboy is a commanding example of one of Colonial America’s most enduring furniture forms.

The dramatic broken arch pediment rises to a carved flame finial above a beautifully figured mahogany case with twelve spacious drawers.  Two deeply carved shell fronts provide striking accents, while original turned wooden knobs complement the classic Chippendale design. 

The tall case rests upon gracefully shaped cabriole legs with carved knees terminating in classic ball and claw feet.

The turned knobs are an unusual departure from the traditional brass hardware found on Chippendale highboys.  Made by Kindel Furniture, a noted American maker known for high-quality construction and custom work, the highboy may have been a special-order variation.

Identified as Kindel Furniture by its original impressed stamp, the highboy also retains a back label with “W505 Oxford” believed to reference model 505 and Kindel’s Oxford mahogany finish. A finely crafted interpretation of a historic American classic, circa 1950.
