1981 John Widdicomb Grand Rapids Marble Top Regency Chest With Brass Lion Pulls
A distinguished 1981 John Widdicomb chest of drawers crafted in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This neoclassical-inspired design features a substantial marble top above a richly toned mahogany case accented with black lacquered panels and brass trim.
The bold lion head ring pulls and decorative brass details lend a subtle Regency influence, while the architectural legs and balanced proportions keep the piece tailored and refined. The original brass hardware retains a warm, natural patina that complements the depth of the wood finish.
Constructed with dovetailed drawers and solid interiors, this chest reflects the quality and craftsmanship for which John Widdicomb was known during the late 20th century. The marble top presents beautifully with light, age-appropriate wear consistent with use. The case remains structurally sound and in very good vintage condition.
A versatile statement piece suitable for use as a chest, server, or sophisticated entry cabinet.
