Robert Culhane's Chest of Drawers

This chest of drawers was made by Robert Culhane (1843-1924) circa 1900 or earlier. His daughter Lucy Theresa Culhane (1891-1968) always remembered it being in the house when she was young. The family lived in port Huron & Pinckney Michigan around this time, before that they lived in Ontario

Robert was a "Cooper" by trade; he built round wagon wheels and watertight barrels. But it seems like a square chest of drawers was not attainable for him.

The chest is made from oak & walnut, the top is made from what looks like a folding leaf from an old table.
