The crest rail is slightly concave, about 3 inches wide, with the upper edge a continuous flat curve. The lower edge is scroll arched. The ends of the rail extend beyond the vase and ring turned back uprights. Between this rail and a conforming cross slat are four vase, knob and ring turned spindles. • The crest rail is stenciled with gold floral and leaf forms on a black ground. The black ground is rimmed with mustard. • The cane seat is a simplified shield shape. The cane is in good condition for its age. • The front legs are tapered, cylinder, knob and ring turned. • The rear legs are a continuation of the rear stiles, plain turned, tapered and flaired. • The rear stiles are vase, knob and ring turned, with olive-green bands rimmed by mustard on each side. • The front stretcher is vase and ring turned, with an olive green band ringed by mustard. • The double side stretchers and single rear stretcher are plain. • The crest rail height is 33” from the floor. • The seat sits 17 1/2” from the floor. • The seat is 15 1/2” wide at the front, tapering down to 12 ½” at the rear. • The seat depth is 15”. • The chair weight is 7 pounds.

The surface patina is nicked, worn and flaked, as expected in a chair approaching 153 years of age. The chair joints are not really loose but somewhat fragile. The chair rocks slightly under weight; this would not be a good chair for heavy use. This style of chair is dainty and meant more for display. There is a vintage repair to some cracks on the rear right leg and some vintage repairs to the rear seat stile. This chair may be picked up in Boylston, MA.

This single door china cabinet features 3 removable wood shelves which have a double set of grooves for the vertical display of fine china. The top shelf is fitted with brass cup hooks underneath, to hang and display fine china cups. The oak in this cabinet is all solid with the exception of the back panel, which is oak veneer. The early glass in this cabinet is delightfully wavy. The main body of the cabinet has 4 panes of glass, with another in the door. The 2 front panes of glass are surmounted by oak dividers. The predominant style of this cabinet is Arts & Crafts, or Mission, with its plain, perpendicular lines. The feet and legs display an Edwardian trend. The lock on the door is functional and the original key has survived. There is no maker’s name in evidence. The only markings on the cabinet are some stenciled numbers on the upper rear panel. Overall dimensions are: • Height of cabinet is 59 ¼ inches. • Width of cabinet is 40 inches. • Width of cabinet top is 43 inches. • Depth of cabinet is 12 ½ inches. • Depth of cabinet top is 14 ¼ inches. • Door dimensions are 45 inches by 19 inches. • Legs are 11 ½ inches tall. • Overall Weight is approx. 80 lbs. Condition: This cabinet is generally very sturdy and in good condition. However, the front bun feet are missing all of the rounded segments, rendering them square. The front right leg facing is missing a segment of the segmented skirt which ornaments the leg just under the turned knob. The top of the cabinet displays some flecks of paint. There is also a light paint splash on the right side facing (see photo). One suspects that the room ceiling was painted with the cabinet in place. This cabinet may be picked up in Boylston, MA. We can arrange for delivery within 100 miles. Please e-mail for a delivery estimate with your location and particulars. All items are sold "as is" and all sales are final.

Antique English satinwood pot cupboard imported from England and dating back to C.1900. You would never know that these kind of small side cabinets were originally used to store the chamber pot in the English Victorian and Edwardian bedroom. Hence the name 'pot cupboard'. Now they make great side tables or plant stands. This particular one has a very simple arts and crafts style. The single paneled door to the front opens to reveal a storage space with a shelf. The door also boasts the original beautiful decorative brass drop handle. The satinwood has developed a wonderful patina over time with a smooth satin look and golden glow. There are some dark marks on top and minor age appropriate wear. There is also a split on one side due to climate change causing movement in the wood.
