#911 "Clothes" cupboard

No. 911 is a clothes cupboard of a type made from about 1725 to 1750.

The cornice has an elaborate series of moldings, and another molding is on the top of the lower portion.

On the four doors are four large arched panels and on each side of the doors are narrow arched panels, not well seen in the illustration; these eight panels are all "applied" on the frame.

The feet are of the same type as those seen on many of the desks, bureaus and secretaries... known as "ogee" bracket feet.

The keyhole escutcheons and the H hinges are original and are in the style of those seen on other articles of the period.
