The two tambour doors have narrow reeds and round metal knobs; they are separated by a cabinet door with a keyhole and a stringing outline. Inlaid pilasters of light and dark stringing with triangular ends flank the tambour doors. The upper and lower cases are joined by cove-and-quarter-round molding. The top of the lower case folds out to create the writing surface; the lid supports have cock-bead molding around the edges and round metal knobs. The two graduated drawers have cock-bead molding around the edges, a stringing outline, oval keyhole surrounds, and bail pulls on round escutcheons. The front posts of the lower case have inlaid pilasters of light and dark stringing with triangular ends; rosewood banding runs around the bottom of the case. The therm legs have bellflower inlay with two single-piece flowers suspended from marquise-shaped drops, with three round drops pendant from the lower flower, all in a stringing outline that dips towards the top drop."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"10/17/2017"},{"label":"Materials","value":"Unidentified wood; Rosewood; Unidentified metal"},{"label":"Style","value":["Federal"]},{"label":"Basis of Date","value":"Date range based on characteristics of design and construction."},{"label":"Date (EDTF)","value":"D:00 M:00 Y:1790 - D:00 M:00 Y:1815"},{"label":"Basis of Origin","value":"Place of origin identified as Boston based on Stoneman's Seymour attribution, 1959.
