#908 "Court" cupboard

No. 908 is a "court" cupboard. The distinctive feature of this type of cupboard is that the upper portion is enclosed and the lower portion is open.

The ends of both portions are supported by large and heavy columns. In the upper portion are two compartments with paneled doors, between which is a panel with two applied ornamental columns.

In the central portion are two drawers. The skirt, or apron, of the lower shelf is cut in cyma curves.

These cupboards are seldom found and are quite valuable. About 1650-1675.
