This gorgeous American or English antique dates from circa 1880-1890. It stands 74 inches tall and is made in two sections. The top half measures 44 inches tall, (& is < 9 inches deep), the bottom portion is 30 inches tall (19 5/8 inches deep). According to the woodworking shop the piece is solid cherry; and the locksmith (who created a new key for the fully functional drawer lock w/escutcheon), thinks it's likely English. The hardware appears to be of the Eastlake period. I dated the piece based on the labels (see collage/picture #18): Kinport Storage and Van Company was located @ this address from March 1893-1897. The Globe Co., S.O. Thorell, Prp., was located @ 604 15th St. from 1898 to 1900. I've been unable to locate the maker, United Studios, Inc.; the piece is similar to a Herter Brothers design.
Please notice the numerous features: display shelves, arches, & a bracket (both w/incised carving) on the top left section balanced by two small drawers w/trim, and an oriental-inspired fretwork cabinet door on the right. Further up are architectural details: a flying butress, overtop a gallery. The center portion contains two cabinets, both w/round beleved mirrors. Carved floral decoration and carved spherical shapes are repeated throughout, including on the two left legs, while the other three legs are splayed. The lower portion contains two drawers below an open shelf and another cabinet with carving and a brass ring pull handle; the 3 larger drawers having dovetail joinery.

I did not alter the patina on the wood or the brass. Lovely and appropriate ink stains and two deep indentations lend character to the top surface. I replaced some missing drawer stops and crafted missing flange nut hardware for the top drawer handles (you cannot buy this size any longer). I also fabricated a missing finial and piece of trim, both on the left side of the piece (see collage/picture #17). It appears the top section "took a tumble" some time in its earlier life (see picture #16) and was reglued; the very top piece was replaced and is not perfectly aligned, however it may do more damage than it's worth risking to realign). There are many details to behold with this statement piece; these slight imperfections are barely noticeable and are only mentioned for full disclosure. less
