Condition: See report within “additional information” section below.
Additional Information: Step-back dresser with lollipop returns flanking shelf. A
projecting cornice molding surmounts chip-carved dental detailed facia centered by
cyma reversa [ogee] ends creating a most unusual hooded open compartment/shelf.
Upper and lower sections each feature a pair of recessed panel doors flanking
stationary center panels…all within horizontal and vertical applied moldings. The upper
and lower upper and lower sections each contain a single fullwidth shelf. The case is
raised on high cutout feet, a continuum of stiles; demilune side cutouts.
The back and side planks once extended a short distance above the top,
probably ensuring that objects were securely stored on the top of the
cupboard. These extensions were removed during the cupboards early life
facilitating a level top. The cupboard stands at original full height. The front has
not been altered in any way as evidenced by the projecting cornice molding
ornamenting fascia.
Tool witness marks caused by the saw used in the process are evident on the
top board as is the original surface; original nail holes are present [from securing
the backboards to the top] further supporting the fact that the cupboard remains
at full height.
There is evidence of a dovetailed molding (probably a spoon rack), within the
top section, which was removed, possibly because it interfered with standing
plates, and other storage. As is often found additional nails have been added to
backboards. It appears that one of the applied moldings on the base was long
ago replaced. Right proper vertical molding on lower case appears to be an old
replacement. All else fine.
This is one of the most outstanding early American cupboards of its type to present
itself on the market, comparable or superior to extant in American institutions. Picked
from a home in the Mohawk region decades ago.
