Very rare early 18th century paneled cupboard, oak and walnut. The cupboard sports an excellent cornice, an open top shaped with ogee and cyma curves, a rosette carved into a small panel on each side of a paneled door, the door attached with butterfly hinges. The sides extend to the floor, forming the legs on which the cupboard stands. The cupboard is in very good condition. This is an opportunity to purchase a very early cupboard with a museum provenance. Circa 1725, Deerfield, Massachusetts.
