This unusual cabinet on stand displays features of an early stage and date in the development of this form of cabinet: notably the twin flat fronted drawers, walnut drawer linings, sunken rather than surface mounted hinges and broad waist mouldings. The tight twists to the drawing of the legs would also seem to indicate an early date rather than the more 'open' twists seen in the later decades of the 17th century.
