This unusually lovely hanging corner cupboard expresses all the major architectural elements of the Chippendale case pieces. Flattop, hand carved keystone above the center of the door, dentil moulding, glass door with four glass panes (lights) with lock and key and two small S carved panels in the upper corner, solid brass H hinges with a fine bead outlining the vertical parameters of the door opening.
