Walnut 24 IN Spice/Apothecary Cabinet - A walnut tabletop apothecary or spice chest featuring an eight drawer configuration. The chest is constructed with a molded cornice top and a decorative scroll-cut bracket base. The drawer arrangement consists of three rows of two side-by-side drawers, followed by a full-width drawer, and a deep bottom full-width drawer divided internally into four separate compartments. The primary wood is walnut, displaying a warm reddish-brown patina. Secondary woods used for the drawer interiors and backboard appear to be a lighter hardwood such as poplar or oak. The construction utilizes square-head cut nails, visible on the top and side surfaces and used to secure the single wide plank backboard. The drawers feature simple nailed joinery. Each drawer is fitted with a turned brass knob pull.
