See what Northfield is selling on the web.

In this feature, we take a look at the "best" Northfield ads on craigslist.

Antique Handpainted Lily of the Valley Clawfoot Low Chest of Drawers - $200

Offered for sale is a wonderful circa late 1800s low chest. With ornate carved clawfeet, beaded board and a graceful serpentine front, the chest measures 44" wide, 22" deep and stands 24" tall - perfect for under windows as a window bench, or at the foot of the bed. The chest bears the original makers label on the back, and the shipping label from Holland Furniture Company to John Klein Co. of Mankato. Featuring lovely handpainted Lily of the Valley bouquets (not original to the piece, but definitely done quite some time ago) the chest has a warm distressed patina, and has a wonderful shabby chic or French country feel. There are three dovetailed wood drawers, all lined with older cream colored velvet. The chest is structurally very strong and solid, and the drawers work smoothly.
