DescriptionThis Jacobean-style oak cupboard on stand (the maker called it a “hutch”) consists of a two-door cabinet supported on an open base of five legs. The plain top has a molded edge. Each of the doors has three raised panels with molded frames, two small over one long. Three black split turnings flank and separate the cabinet doors. The sides of the cabinet are paneled. The three trumpet-turned front legs are each topped by a black boss in the skirt. The two back legs are square. The plain molded stretchers join the five legs near the floor. The cast brass tear-shaped drops are ornamented with basket-weave pattern.ProvenanceFrom 1964
