Kaplan China Cabinet
This vintage china cabinet displays many characteristic of quality and beauty. The Queen Anne period is beautifully articulated in this piece. It has tall swooping Queen Anne legs. In addition, it has a “broken arch” and finial top. Very similar to period highboy dressers, this piece also has five small drawers. Furthermore, craftsmen carved a concave shell motif into the middle drawer. Unquestionably, these characteristics give the piece a very elegant look.
The vintage china cabinet has two shelves on the interior. A plate rail runs along the back of each shelf. The shelves inside the vintage china cabinet are deep. Books, china or other collectibles will find plenty of roominess within. The glass doors on the cabinet have a beautiful honeycomb style mullion. This means each piece of glass is custom fitted in between the wood mullions. Certainly, it is a mark of quality. Finally, Solid Brass Chippendale Style hardware complete the piece.
