This chest was made for a large jewelry collection. However, it may also be used as a set of art "flats" for storage of important papers, drawings or artists supplies.

This chest, built to contain a large collection
of Indian jewelry, is special in many ways. Dimensions are 56" high, 57 5/8" wide
and 20" deep. It’s constructed of red oak, basswood, locust, hickory and walnut.
The 33-drawers slide effortlessly on locust rails rabbeted into the drawer sides.
This is done to keep all drawers sliding freely indefinitely. No metal hardware that
could rust or wear out, is used in any way. Construction of the cabinet is specially
designed to accommodate the high humidity of its southern location. The oak knobs are individually turned and finished using a three-stain process giving a very striking look.
This same general design would also function well for art conservation, storage etc. and
may be built in any size.
