This Open Cabinet Top is typical of those used on top of hutch cabinets for use in displaying favorite china and decorative plates in dining room settings. The Cabinet was also used for the storage of books when used as a top piece of a desk. The design shows scalloped sides which were typical of late 1700s furniture. The heavy top molding completes the simplicity of this functional piece. Made of pine, cherry, ash or a mixture. Commonly made of the same material of the piece on which it was placed: a simple functional piece found in dining rooms, halls, ante rooms and sleeping salons. (C7002)
