Highboy
1935-1942
Frederick Jackson's precise technical drawing outlines the design for a classic 'Highboy' cabinet, featuring elegant twisted columns and cabriole legs that evoke a colonial revival style. Beyond the main structure, Jackson meticulously planned the decorative hardware, sketching out specific ornate designs for the 'Key Plate' and 'Handle' on the left side. The note at the bottom, 'Scale 1 1/2" = 1'', reveals this was a serious blueprint for construction, likely intended for a craftsman to build a sturdy, custom piece during the late 1930s.
