Queen Anne antique furniture chest of drawers could close at $15,000

If you're a collector with a love of rare antique furniture, then keep an eye out for this auction which is taking place in Boston US on March 4. Online bidding is also available.

Among the sale's highlights is this authentic Queen Anne fan-carved walnut and maple high chest of drawers, with a scroll-top.

Notice the high chest of drawers' design on its upper section. It depicts a swan's neck cresting beside a scroll cutout.
