Lot Essay

Compare with a cabinet of similar form but more sophisticated execution, attributed to Frank Furness for Daniel Pabst, illustrated: In Pursuit of Beauty, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1987, p. 147.
The close grain of the pine and the nature of the stencilling also point to this piece being of American origin.
