Highboy, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning hand-carved wooden chest of drawers created by the talented American artist, Francis Borelli. This exquisite piece, a prime example of decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s, is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Borelli's masterful use of color and intricate woodcarving techniques are on full display in this highboy. The chest is embellished with vibrant watercolor, colored pencil, gouache, and graphite on paperboard, which adds a pop of visual interest against the rich, dark wood. The tallboy's design is a beautiful fusion of traditional and modern elements, making it a standout piece from the period. The Highboy was created during the Thirties, a decade known for its artistic and cultural innovations in the United States. This period item is a testament to the country's rich artistic heritage and the skill and creativity of its artists. The chest of drawers is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a work of art in its own right. The Highboy's intricate carvings are a feast for the eyes, with scrollwork, geometric patterns, and floral motifs adorning the piece. The brown wood, which has aged gracefully over the decades, adds to the chest's character and charm. The piece's location in the National Gallery of Art, an institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing American art, is a fitting tribute to Borelli's artistic legacy. This Highboy is not only a beautiful addition to any home but also a valuable piece of American history. It is a reminder of the country's rich artistic past and the talented artists who have shaped its cultural landscape. The Highboy, 1936, by Francis Borelli, is a true masterpiece that continues to inspire and delight viewers to this day.
