Step Back Corner Cupboard, mid 18th century
Step Back Corner Cupboard, mid 18th century

This cupboard is not an exact copy, I altered the height between the shelves and the width of the face boards. The original is pictured in Wallace Nutting's Furniture Treasury, and there is a closely related one at Historic Deerfield. The curved top shelves make it attractive an inviting for items. The dovetail hinges are not commonly used, but do attract the eye when they are there. 2008. Addison County, Vt.
