George Washington didn't use this chest, but he might have used a similar piece. From the Antiquities line of Stickley, this piece is made with solid tropical hardwood.

The 77" high chest has bi-fold doors that wrap around its ends, revealing either two adjustable shelves or a 45" opening for a television.

Seven beaded drawers in the base all feature Stickley's classic side-hung and center-guided construction. Solid brass hardware is finished in a dark, antique tone and the wood is finished with a mellow, antinqued look.

Valley Forge Door Chest, AN-7443

Dimensions: 77" high x 57" wide x 23-1/2" deep

Retails for about $5,056 (October 2005).
