There is no record of a cabinetmaker of this name, but there was in West Roxbury at that time Nathaniel Richards (1712-1788), an innkeeper at Jamaica Plain, magistrate and saddler, according to information from Stephen T.

The lower case consists of a single wide drawer above three side-by-side drawers. The lower, center drawer has a carved fan decoration flush along the bottom edge of the drawer front with a small ring pull at the bottom center. The shaped front skirt of the case has two turned drops. The lower case sits on cabriole legs with pad feet.  All of the full-width drawers have a pierced, shaped brass escutcheon and two bail pulls with back plates that match the escutcheons.
