Item: 1840s Faux Mahogany Finished Armoir
Price: $1,800.00
Description: One of the best conditions of original grain painted surface in faux Mahogany that you could imagine and the cupboard even retains the original clothes pegs in the interior. The back has very detailed hand plane marks. There was never a molding to the top and the effect is almost one of an architectural piece. This was made from the Swann family of Squirewood in Dandridge, Tennessee prior to the mansion's completion in 1852. It descended down through the family until the present generation. The wood appears to be Poplar and the graining surface is in excellent condition for 160 years of age.
