Description
40" (102 cm.) h. x 24"w. x 11"d. Of finest maple with tiger-striped luxury graining, the cabinet features a 12-pane upper cabinet with double doors above a closed door cabinet base, and is enhanced with cherry inlaid escutcheons and pegging, According to a handwritten note included with the cabinet, it was purchased from Paul Reese of Dayton Ohio in 1989 who had bought it from the descendents of its 19th century maker, Robert McCaskey of Gallia County, Ohio. The availability of tiger maple wood was evidently a key asset of McCaskey, as a full size corner cupboard of tiger maple made by him is also known to exist. Fine original condition. American mid-19th century. $1200/1600
