Description
Originally designed in the 1950s by American of Martinsville as the smaller 'chest-on-chest' component to sit atop the corresponding sideboard, this piece can be used to hold smaller linens, napkin rings, and silverware. However, its more practical, contemporary application is as a jewelry cabinet.
