Henry O. Studley (1838-1925) built this magnificent
wall-hung chest while employed by the Poole Piano Company of
Quincy, Massachusetts. He probably obtained materials for
the chest from the firm's scrap mahogany, walnut, ebony,
ivory, and mother-of-pearl. The elegant but efficient
design protects the tools from damage and permits them to be
identified and selected quickly.
