small side hung drawer which is a later addition; the interior is wallpapered. The historic surface is fabulous,

(H: 78"; W: 45"; D: 17.25")
This outstanding cupboard is similar to one in old brown paint over original reddish-brown that is displayed in the Hardenbergh parlor at Winterthur. Historic Deerfield owns two cupboards of this type that feature shaped fielded raised panels on the fronts, one of which is repainted, the other refinished with replaced feet. Dean Fales noted that the two cupboards at Deerfield are a "local type made in or near Deerfield; (and) While these cupboards do not have known histories, a similar painted one at Winterthur was owned by Osmund and Winifred Skinner of Shelburne, a town just west of Deerfield on the Mohawk Trail. Another related cupboard was found just North of Greenfield in Bernardston." Philip Zea affirmed the locality of Deerfield as the origin for these cupboards and acknowledged the use of relatively thick boards of hard pine in their construction. It is interesting to note that this same hard pine is used for the tops and as secondary wood in Hadley chests produced in the same region.
