10- This chest’s elaborate decoration reflects influences
from Germany, England, and the United States. On the front of the chest, two proud unicorns rear upward, their bodies creating. a mirror image of each other. In traditional German culture, these mythical animals were admired as symbols of purity. The artist also may have been inspired by the unicorn that. appears in the British coat of arms, a symbol that Americans. would have seen often. Pennsylvania’s state coat of arms, which first appeared in 1778, might have influenced the design as well. This state symbol—still in use today—includes. a pair of rearing horses in a similar position as the unicorns on the chest. Red, yellow, green, and black tulips with pointed petals bend and twist in different directions on the front and top of the chest The largest tulip emerges from a curved flowerpot at the unicorns’ feet. These flowers would have reminded Margaret and her family of their ancestors’ home in Europe, where tulips were plentiful. Horse and rider figures, complete with red coats, hats, and swords, appear below arched tulip stems on the front of the chest. These men could represent soldiers in the Continental Army and demonstrate pride in America for gaining independence from England during the American Revolution (1775–83). Two identical crowned figures hold tulips and playfully hover above the horses and riders. These figures are a traditional German motif that refers to a bride and groom such as Margaret and John.
