About the Item

A unique Early 19th C. English Provincial Carved Pine Breakfront, with exceptional molded Neoclassical elements. A removable pediment crest over a facade with molded bellflower and floral urns. The one piece cabinet has two sectional glass doors, with an interior of ivory painted wood shelves, flanked by two paneled doors with molded Neoclassical urns and wreaths with fixed shelf painted interiors. The lower half has four doors with paterea and bell flower wreath elements, the center with a single fixed shelf interior. Key included. Notes: Use of Composition Adam Style elements were the choice adornment during the late George III period on chimney pieces, mirrors and console tables. A larger case piece as this using these elements indicates that this breakfront most likely was originally painted though its current wax finish gives it a great provincial presence. Provenance: Historic Collection, Great Island, Darien, CT
