Satinwood inlaid with tulipwood, painted panels
A cabinet of very similar design was shown at the Philadelphia International Exhibition of 1876, held to commemorate the centenary of the Declaration of Independence. The 'Adams Style', based on late eighteenth century design sources like Sheraton's Drawing Book (1793), was highly fashionable at this time, and the Wright & Mansfield cabinet of 1867 in Room 120 is the earliest example in this collection.(pre October 2000) |
