highboy

I passed by one encampment in D.C. last week that included a Queen Anne highboy dresser, angled as though it were in the corner of a master bedroom, just outside the tent.

Appraiser Elizabeth Stewart of Santa Barbara, California, recently appraised a “beautiful” 18th-century highboy, or double chest of drawers, and had to break some bad news to its owners.

Their dogs were also suspicious of the 1950s highboy chest of drawers and canopy bed, as they “would not stop barking at it.”

A Philadelphia highboy had been moved out into the hall, and, together with Mrs. Glass’s person, it blocked Zooey’s passage.

Throughout the first act, Julia is preoccupied with the idea of selling Grandmother Wentworth's highboy to an antiques dealer so she can use the money to fund a trip to Paris.
