With furniture,, at any given time after about 1890 there were at least 5 or 6 styles rambling around in America !! To determine when this chest was made you have to look at the entire chest and just give it your best guess !! Finding out who made it is next to impossible !! There were just too many made by too many mfrs !! Most styles persisted about 20 years and any thing made within that period may have two three elements commonly seen on others !! This chest has the rolled front common to both Empire Revival and the Waterfall styles of the Deco era,, the incised lines of Arts & Crafts with wood knobs, and the scroll work of Empire Revival now throw into that the bun feet of the Jacobean Revival & W&M and its kind of a Heinz 57 !! That would tell me that it was made either at the beginning of a style era or at the end which really doesn`t matter either way !! I call most of these transitional styles since they are a combination of elements !! Will wait to see the dovetails !! Which is another story in itself !!
