The top of the case is a single diffuse porous hardwood board, possibly American tulip poplar, oriented side to side over a supporting frame. The side to side frame components are also probably American tulip poplar, while the front to back frame components seem to be maple. The case top is veneered with figured maple; a large crack runs through both the veneer and the secondary wood. The case top is attached with screws or nails, which are put through the legs. The edges of the case top are also veneered, with half round molding applied over the veneer in the front and on the sides. The moldings are turned maple, decorated to resemble bamboo, with regular flared and incised rings enhanced by black paint. The right side molding and veneer are missing.  The case sides are panel constructed. The exteriors of the case sides are veneered with figured maple; there is a vertical strip of veneer on each side, reaching from top to bottom. Horizontal pieces of veneer cover the area between the vertical strips, with one piece below the panel and a larger piece above the panel. The recessed panel has strips of veneer along its inner edges, as well as veneer on the panel itself. Half round moldings decorated to resemble bamboo are placed along the lower edge of each side, outlining the recessed panels, and horizontally at the level of the drawer supports.  The secondary wood structure for each case side is composed of a total of nine boards, all of which appear to be American tulip poplar. The upper portion of each case side, creating the drawer compartment, consists of a vertical frame element on either side of a horizontal panel, which sits flush with the side elements. The lower portion of the case sides, creating the cubby, has a central recessed panel of one wide and one narrow vertically oriented board; this is surrounded by two vertical and two horizontal frame elements. The panel edges have been chamfered to a rough curve. Small strips are applied to the inner edges of the vertical frame elements for both the lower and upper sections of the case, and to the inner edges of the horizontal frame elements of the lower section. Most of the joinery for the case sides is not visible, but the bottom frame element for the lower portion of the case has a spline on each end connecting it to the side frame elements. The case sides appear to be dovetailed to the supportive frame under the case top, and to the case bottom.  The back of the case is constructed from two vertically oriented boards, appearing to have a simple butt joint connecting them. There are two additional applied strips over the edges of the case sides. The case back is attached with screws at the top and bottom, and has vertical rabbets on each side. The case back is a diffuse porous hardwood, likely American tulip poplar.  The case bottom has one board comprising the majority of its area, with a small additional strip at the back. The diffuse porous hardwood of the boards is likely American tulip poplar. Decorative brackets, made from turned maple spindles decorated to resemble bamboo, are attached to the case bottom at the front and sides of the case. These brackets are composed of three small vertical spindles connecting to a wider horizontal spindle with ball finials at each end. Near each end of the horizontal spindles, a vertical spindle originally attached to another horizontal spindle connected to the leg column. Most of these additional bracket sections are missing, with only the back left and front right examples intact.  The case has a single drawer at the top, accessed from the front. The drawer rests on maple runners inside the case, which are nailed to the case sides. There is a rear support running between the runners at the back of the case, with drawer stops at the back corners. The drawer runners are also nailed to this rear support and to the drawer divider at the front. The drawer divider and the top front rail directly above the drawer (part of the supportive framing under the case top) are dovetailed or mortise and tenoned to the case sides. The outer edges of the front rail and divider are veneered with figured maple; the drawer divider also has applied half round molding decorated to resemble bamboo. The drawer divider appears to be American tulip poplar.  The drawer front is figured maple veneer over American tulip poplar. The top edge is also veneered. Half round maple turnings, decorated to resemble bamboo, are applied over the veneers to form a rectangle with mitered corners. The drawer has a single wooden knob at the center. The knob is a flattened mushroom shape, with an incised ring around the top section accented with black paint. The knob terminates in a small ball. The drawer sides, made from an unidentified wood, are full height with flat top edges. The drawer back is slightly shorter and has a slight chamfer to the top edges. The drawer bottom is a single board, oriented from side to side. The drawer bottom and back are made from diffuse porous hardwood, possibly American tulip poplar. The drawer sides are attached to the front and back of the drawer with dovetails. The wide rabbets of the drawer bottom are let into grooves in the front and sides of the drawer, and the drawer bottom is nailed to the underside of the drawer back.  The piece also has a door at the front which opens to a single large compartment. The door is panel framed, with the panel recessed on the inside and outside. The door is veneered with figured maple on the inside and outside, including the inner edges of the frame elements where they are exposed by the recessed panel. The door has applied maple half round moldings, decorated to resemble bamboo, outlining the panel on the outside of the door. The door is held closed by a carved wooden latch on the inside of the door, which attaches through the door to a wooden knob like the one on the drawer. Turning the knob rotates the latch into a groove carved into the case side. The attachment between the latch and the knob is strengthened by a wedge inserted from the inside.  The cabinet of this piece rests on four legs. These are turned maple, decorated to resemble bamboo. The columnar leg component is continuous from just below the case top through the foot and tapers out from the top. The feet have an underlying snake shape with two rings of carved half spheres on a background textured with zig-zag chisel marks. The top rows of half spheres have five, while the bottom rows have six half spheres. The front feet are slightly angled towards the front. The back feet are oriented to the sides."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/25/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"Graphite line on the right side drawer runner.

Vaughn, who advertised primarily as an upholsterer. Vaughn was active in Boston from about 1862-about 1874. City directories identify him as an upholsterer employed by Henry A. Turner or Henry A. Turner & Co. from 1862-1867. He is listed under his own name from 1868-1869 and under John J. Vaughn & Co. from 1870-1873. In 1872 and 1873, Charles J. Blaney is listed as a partner in the firm. Some of the city directory listings for John J. Vaughn & Co. state that the company manufactured furniture as well. It is possible, however, that Vaughn only retailed the set and that it was made elsewhere; the faux bamboo treatment is commonly associated with New York City.  John J. Vaughn relocated to Haverhill, Massachusetts, sometime between 1874 and 1876. An 1877 Haverhill newspaper includes an advertisement for J. J. Vaughn, Interior and Exterior Decorator. In 1880 he is listed as a commission merchant in Haverhill."},{"label":"Maker","value":["Blaney, Charles J., upholsterer, interior decorator, and furniture retailer, active about 1872-1873","John J.
