The upper case has a broken scroll pediment with complex molding along the top edge of the pediment. Urn and corkscrew finials are mounted on top of rectangular plinths at the front corners and on a shaped plinth that extends from the center front of the pediment. The front vertical edges of the bookcase have fluted pilasters. The case has arched, paneled doors with pierced keyhole surrounds. The case interior has a row of eight pigeonholes with serpentine dividers surmounting two adjustable shelves. A fixed shelf at the bottom of the case surmounts a row of five drawers; the center drawer is wider than the others. Between the pediment and the pigeonholes, in the areas covered by the arches of the doors, are carved fans. Two sliding candlestands extend from beneath the center of each door. Each candlestand is fitted with a single brass knob.  The lower case has a fall lid that opens up into a flat surface on which to write. The desk interior has a central prospect unit with a prospect door with inset, blocked shell carving flanked by two document drawers with applied half-turnings with urn and corkscrew finials. The left and right sides of the desk interior are each fitted with a stack of three narrow drawers carved with the same shell and blocking as the prospect door. Between these drawers and the prospect unit are two pigeonholes with serpentine valances over wide, blocked drawers. Below the desk surface, the case is blockfront with curved upper corners. The case has four graduated drawers. The uppermost drawer is flanked by lopers, each of which has a single knob. The lid and drawers each have a shaped escutcheon; the drawers each have two bail pulls with back plates of the same design as the escutcheons. A center pendent drop extends from the center front of the case skirt. The case sits on bracket feet."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/20/2018"},{"label":"Materials","value":"Mahogany"},{"label":"Style","value":["Chippendale","Queen Anne"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Dated by DAPC staff, 1965."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1750 - D:00 M:00 Y:1780"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"Frothingham worked in Charlestown, Massachusetts."},{"label":"Place of Origin","value":"Charlestown, Massachusetts"},{"label":"Basis of Maker Attribution","value":"Attributed to Frothingham by Comstock (1953).
