Note: Derived from Georgian bottle cabinets or cellarettes, sugar chests were a specialized form in regions of the Southern backcountry where, before the advent of steamboats, sugar was imported from New Orleans with difficulty. The presence of a sugar chest in a household signified its prosperity, and regional cabinetmakers modified a familiar English dining room form to store and display a prestigious commodity.
Reference: See Williams and Harsh, The Art and Mystery of Tennessee Furniture, pp. 73, 77, 89, and 138. Further discussion of the evolution and use of the sugar chest can be found in: Mc Pherson, “Sugar Chests in Middle Tennessee and Central Kentucky”, Journal of Southern Decorative Arts, Winter 1997 and Hicks and Caldwell, “A Short History of the Tennessee Sugar Chest”, Magazine Antiques, September 2003.

[$5000/7000]
Note: Derived from the traditionally larger sideboard, this Southern chest form, known as the “Jackson Press “ was versatile in its use for dining rooms and kitchens. Most closely associated with Tennessee cabinet makers and named for local hero Andrew Jackson, the Jackson Press was common in the vicinity of Jackson’s home: Davidson County, Montgomery County, and Wilson County, Tennessee.

In 1874 he married Grand-Duchess Marie Alexandra, daughter of Czar Alexander II, at Saint Petersburg, and the prince and princess’s children were born in the years bracketing this sensitive portrait (painted probably either in Paris, while the artist was in residence there in the 1870s, or in Washington—as suggested by the stamp of a D.C. art supplier on the back of the canvas—where the Prince may have been visiting the British Embassy). Prince Alfred became Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1893, and died at Coburg (distraught by the romantically induced suicide of his son and namesake in 1899), in 1900.
