John Cam Hobhouse, 1st Baron Broughton, GCB, PC, FRS (27 June 1786 – 3 June 1869), known as Sir John Hobhouse, Bt, from 1831 to 1851, was an English politician and diarist.
Circa 1770-80 British Georgian one drawer table of desirable "small scale". See picture one for scale comparison. Mahogany primary wood with Oak & Pine secondary woods. Molded top with molded and chamfered legs. Dovetailed drawer with original brass handle. The screws under the top are replaced. Ht overall 28" x dth top 16 1/2" x wth top 28".
Circa 1800-10 Very fine American Federal period two drawer stand, the whole case is Tiger Maple which is very desirable in the marketplace. All secondary woods are Tulip Poplar. 29"h x 23"w x 19"d top
Circa 1800-10 Very rare Federal Period Southern 'Sugar chest'. The 'sugar chest' is one of the most sought-after furniture forms in the American antique marketplace, due to the hard-core collecting base that chase Southern pieces and the fact only a small number were made and generally made for use in the South.
The diminutive size of this one is quite pleasing, and the top is only 31 1/4" wide and 15 1/4" deep.
Another feature that distinguishes this piece is the shaped front skirt, as well as the inlaid escutcheon.
The lower case still retains the original varnish which is astounding.
The whole case is tenon construction. ​ I have only had this piece for a number of weeks and am selling without researching possible identification of the state it was made. I have sold 2 other sugar chests over the years and would be happy to learn later about any research a new owner did and the new info. Obviously certain features and woods help narrow it down to a particular State or Two. The higher number of detailed color images help show construction details as well as woods used.
In my opinion the hinges are replaced. Obviously, the divider was removed. The lock was removed and there is two holes under the lid that probably held a catch for it. (see last image) As sugar became less valuable these chests were not locked and became storage or blanket chests, hence the lack of lock and divider here and this is seen on many in the antique market and in collections.
​Primary wood Cherry, with (possibly Tulip) Poplar base and Oak in the back lower section.
31 1/4" wide and 15 1/4" deep x 21" high.
