Featured Kittinger Chest

We purchased this piece the other day and would like to know a little more about it. Does anyone know about the time period that this was made? We have searched the internet and cannot find another piece like this.

Thank you for any help.

What a lovely chest. Id guess 1920s or so. I bet it weighs a ton!

 

Hi Jamie.......Welcome to Antiquers!

 

Here's a piece on 1st Dibs that has some similarities:

Thanks Johnny...It is very solid and heavy!

 

Thanks Judy!!!

 

Wow...It does have a lot of similarities. Thanks!!

 

Agrees, 1920s-30s. Kittinger makes high quality historical furniture, at first i was thinking this was their version of the rather famous "sunflower" chest by a 17th century joiner in Connecticut named Peter Blinn but now, i don't know, i could be wrong about this.

This one says it is by Kittinger with a sunflower motif. It looks a bit different from what I can tell but thought I'd post this.

It has some similarity in design to the one that @James Conrad posted, too.

 

Thanks for all the replies. Does anyone have a ballpark figure of what my chest might be worth? Overall it looks to be original and in pretty nice condition

 

Well, so far.....worth what you paid for it !

If you're looking to flip it.....
Where r u....
how will u be selling it....
these things affect the value...

 

No. Keeping it. See that a lot of their old furniture is pretty valuable and was just wondering. Thanks for replying
