The most structurally complex fakes in the Chipstone collection are case forms. Stylistically, this "Philadelphia" dressing table appears to be contemporary with the example to the right. Both have broad fluted chambers (angled corners), a deep skirt, and a long drawer over three smaller ones of approximately equal size-details common on Philadelphia dressing tables made between 1730 and 1760. But this table is a modern creation. The carving on the authentic dressing table is attributed to Nicholas Bernard, a highly skilled, locally trained carver. The maker of the Chipstone table attempted to mimic Bernard's naturalistic style, but was not up to the task. Notice how the acanthus appliqués on the central drawer consist of awkward clusters of deeply hollowed leaves similar to those on other fakes in this exhibition. The poorly rendered knee carving, too, is virtually identical to that on the fraudulent Philadelphia armchair to the left. The construction details and materials also reveal this table to be fake. All of the lower drawers are assembled from parts from another case piece . for instance, the right and left drawers appear to have been cut down from the upper drawers of a high chest, which typically have pulls placed near the top of the front. In contrast, the brasses on corresponding drawers of period Philadelphia dressing tables are usually centered.
