This bedroom chest was one of the last pieces of furniture made before the association of the Greenes and the Halls. Cloud lift patterns appear in the handles and in the rails of the panels, but the shaping and rounding of the curves is not as refined as in the work of the Halls. The round pegs are proud about 1/8″, much further than the 1/32″ to 1/16″ projection that was used in later pieces. The joints in the drawers are half-blind dovetails, indicating that the rabbeted tongue and groove joint came into use when the furniture began to be produced by the hall brothers.
