Figure 13  High chest with carving attributed to Nicholas Bernard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, probably late 1740s. Walnut with tulip poplar, yellow pine, and white cedar. H. 91 1/2", W. 42 1/2", D. 24 1/2". (Private collection; photo, Philip Bradley Antiques.) The construction, knee carving, and un­der­scale claw-and-ball feet on this piece have parallels in other Philadelphia case pieces from the mid- to late 1740s.
