Description

American Neo-Grec Parcel-Gilt and Ebonized Cabinet, third quarter 19th century, the stepped-back with a spindle gallery, the raised center cupboard mounted with griffin busts, the wings extending back as returns to the back gallery, the recessed central door with an inlaid panel of neoclassical inspiration, each corner of the projecting ends with a giltwood female mask, the flanking cupboards with a Greek key etched-and-beveled glass panel, raised on bun feet fronted by scrolls, h. 55", w. 68-1/2", d. 20-1/2". The griffin-carved mounts on the high center drawer and the marquetry door panel are suggestive of the work of Allen and Brother, Philadelphia. A nearly identical inlaid panel appears on a cabinet shown by their firm at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition.
