The flat top overhangs the case and has inlaid herringbone banding around the edges. The two tambour doors have narrow reeds, round metal knobs, and inlaid bellflower swags. Three inlaid pilasters of light and dark stringing with molded capitals and bases flank and separate the doors. Behind each tambour door are two stacked drawers over three pigeonholes with scrolled valances and interiors painted blue-green. The upper left drawer is missing its pull; the upper right drawer has a lunette-shaped pull; and the lower drawers have round metal knobs. The upper and lower cases are joined with ogee molding. The top of the lower case has inlaid banding around the edges and folds down to create the writing surface, which is covered with a red textile. The lid supports have round metal knobs and cock-bead molding around the edges. The two graduated drawers have cock-bead molding around the edges, a stringing outline, marquise-shaped keyhole surrounds, and bail pulls on shaped escutcheons. The front posts of the lower case are inlaid with pilasters of light and dark stringing with triangular ends with dots at the three corners. The therm legs have inlaid banding cuffs; the front legs also have bellflower inlay with three flowers separated by oval drops in a stringing outline with a triple-arched top."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"10/17/2017"},{"label":"Materials","value":"Mahogany; Pine; Ebony; Satinwood; Fruitwood; Rosewood; Brass; Unidentified metal; Unidentified textile"},{"label":"Style","value":["Federal"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Date range provided by the Henry Ford Museum, 2016."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1795 - D:00 M:00 Y:1805"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"Place of origin identified as Boston based on Stoneman's Seymour attribution, 1959.
