Much of it was imported and only available to the more successful and well-funded cabinetmakers. The maker of this piece used his ingenuity to fashion both hinge and latch from easily-available wood. Shown here in a Lancaster Yellow finish, its dimensions are 25"h x 12"w x 4-1/2"d. Price:$250 Click on the photograph for more detail. |

The parlor cabinet is shown here in Candlelight Pine. It measures 15"h x 20"w x 6" d. Price:$150 Back to the top
