This chest was made in 2011 by Freddy Roman, a craftsman from Ayer, Massachusetts. It is a reproduction of a chest made by Thomas Seymour, a Boston furniture maker who worked at the end of the eighteenth century and the start of the nineteenth. The original chest is on the cover of an out-of-print book about Thomas Seymour and his father John.
The chest is in an exhibition of current-day furniture makers who work in traditional styles and with traditional tools, currently exhibited at the Connecticut Historical Society.

Beautiful craftsmanship indeed! I would love to have one like that -- with lots of drawers!!! And what a great self-portrait, Jack, love your composition! What a clever guy you are! Enjoy your weekend!
The honey colour is marvelous, I wonder what kind of wood it is, looks a little like Amboyna burl wood, gorgeous piece of work and you don't look to bad yourself Jack haha!

It's a beauty and the guy in the mirror doesn't look too bad either!
That is a fine looking chest made by true craftsmen, even if it is contemporary. Also like your portrait.

Hello Jack! That's a very, very nice piece of furniture, not too ornate and absolutely beautiful wood!
Good to see you Jack!
Nice picture. The chest is glowing. You are a bit wraith-like.
Great looking woodwork.
It's beautifully crafted Jack ... with those wonderful little drawers at the top ideal for storing petit treasures.
Wonderfully preserved antique - I say no more.

Wonderful choice for a self portrait.
I don't think I'd recognize you if I saw you on the street unless you have your camera up to your eyes. ;)
I wouldn't mind owning that chest of drawers. Love your self-portrait, Jack!
That is amazing, you don't see furniture like that very often anymore. I'm a new follower, and I look forward to future reflections.
