This magnificent Federal Hackensack cupboard was proudly displayed in my late Grandmother's estate in Saddle River, NJ. It sat in her dining room for decades.

She acquired it from a prominent antique dealer in West Englewood, New Jersey in 1954. My Grandmother and David Rockefeller were invited to see the piece at the same time. My Grandmother arrived one hour early and bought the cupboard. Mr. Rockefeller arrived late and wanted to buy the cupboard from my Grandmother. She politely declined. Mr. Rockefeller then sent a 3x5 card each Christmas, several years in a row, to see if my Grandmother wanted to sell the cupboard. My father was 10 years old at the time and was at the antique store the day she purchased the cupboard.

Measurements: Height 85", Width 47", Depth 18"
