Available through Craze Furniture, this heirloom quality chest on chest reflects the brand’s enduring commitment to American craftsmanship, timeless design, and meticulous hand finishing.
Founded in Winchester, Virginia in 1946, Henkel Harris became renowned for producing fine solid wood furniture using time honored construction methods and premium hardwoods. This 1996 example showcases their celebrated wild black cherry, a wood prized for its rich grain, warm undertones, and graceful aging process that deepens in character over time.
Materials and Craftsmanship
Constructed from solid wild black cherry, this highboy demonstrates the superior cabinetmaking standards for which Henkel Harris is known. The elegantly shaped bonnet crown is centered with a carved finial, while the upper case features graduated drawers adorned with solid brass Chippendale style hardware. Shell carved accents highlight both the upper and lower cases, reinforcing its traditional pedigree.
The lower section rests on gracefully carved cabriole legs with a shaped apron, creating a balanced and refined profile. Drawer interiors are finely finished, and the 1996 maker’s mark confirms authenticity and origin.
