DESCRIPTION
 
This is a very unusual Regency period mahogany linen press cabinet, dating to circa 1815, distinguished by its bold architectural form and highly unusual circular tambour-fronted cupboard. The upper section features a striking geometric pediment with carved scrolled finials to each end, above a remarkable circular tambour door with fine vertical fluting, enclosing a shelved interior. Below, the chest is fitted with two short drawers over two long drawers, raised on turned bun feet. Pieces of this architectural form, with such an unusual circular tambour detail, are exceedingly rare. Probably custom made by an accomplished cabinetmaker for a wealthy household.
