I would very much like to make a Chapin style dressing table, and I am wondering if there are good sources for photos and dimensions. I don't necessarily need a set of plans, but if anyone knows of such a set I would probably be interested. I am aware of the book Connecticut Valley Furniture, Eliphalet Chapin and his Contemporaries, but I haven't had a chance to look at it. Does anyone have it, and would it be a useful source? Probably the most necessary information are the overall dimensions, especially the size of the case relative to the height of the legs. I think I could scale the rest of a piece appropriately from a photo. Also of interest would be molding profiles for the top edge. I've looked through the books I have and don't see many references to Chapin dressing tables, mainly highboys.
Thanks,
Rob
