18TH CENTURY ANTIQUE CHIPPENDALE CONNECTICUT CHERRY LINEN PRESS / CABINET - RARE GREEK KEY CARVINGS. Thank you for shopping with Bay Colony Antiques. We're a third generation family owned business furnishing homes all over the world.

We aggressively pursue important antiques, decorative arts, and objects of interest for our most discerning clients. With our highest compliments and utmost honors, Bay Colony Antiques is extremely proud to offer for sale this fantastic 18th century antique Connecticut Cherry linen press. The cabinet has a well-defined crown with a. A closely related Connecticut chest with similar Greek key carvings can be viewed online in Yale's collection (item # 1930.2276).

The cabinet has paneled Cherry doors. Often referred to as blind doors. The shelves can slide right out of the grooves and there are 6 different height adjustments.

The base cabinet has a. Rare 3 over 3 layout with select cuts of Cherry used for the faces. The feet were superbly executed with a nice scrolling pattern and dramatic carved spurs. We're extremely ardent about Connecticut furniture and truly feel it's one of the most underrepresented schools of early American cabinetry.

Yale, Historic Deerfield, and the Five Colleges probably hold the best Connecticut furniture collections but outside of New England you'll rarely see Connecticut furniture on display. The work surface has a set of hand cut dovetails on display and the doors are peg joined.

The cabinet has pine secondaries and is in wonderful condition with our only notes being minor surface wear, a small piece of wood missing on the left side right below the mid molding, & the brasses were replaced with period accurate pulls. This is without a doubt one of the finest Connecticut Chippendale cabinets that has surfaced in recent years.

We don't have the sizes on hand but will amend the listing next time we're at the warehouse. We are a wholly owned family business in our third decade of continuous operation.
