Chippendale Tombstone-Panel Shrank

Pennsylvania ca. 1770-1785
Walnut, poplar and pine secondary
Condition: No replacements: original throughout, including hardware, interior shelves, pegs and glue blocks. Old refinished surface retains a rich color.
Very successful proportions for a large case piece.  The matchstick molded edge below the bold cornice is a wonderful feature, and the inset tombstone panels with molded edges above geometric inset panels give the piece depth.  The shrank is supported by well-formed ogee bracket feet and offers all the great features: form, condition and surface, and outstanding cabinetry.
