Original caption
One of the clearest signs of Scottish cabinetmaking is the large bonnet drawer found in this mid 19th century chest. These deep central compartments became a recognizable feature of Scottish chests, designed to hold a gentleman’s top hat or a lady’s formal bonnet without crushing its shape. It is a small detail that helps connect this piece to both its origin and the way it was once used. Now available with free nationwide shipping. #antique #furniture #History #fyp
