VERY RARE VIRGINIA WALNUT STEPBACK APOTHECARY CUPBOARD, (updated 11/18/2024) of single-piece construction, the upper fielded-panel hinged cabinet doors open to reveal fixed shelves, the lower fielded-panel doors open to reveal a myriad of different-sized drawers, the whole raised on an applied bracket foot base with a center drop at the front. Possibly lacking the original cornice. Retains its original dry finish and brasses. Discovered in Middlesex Co., VA. Yellow pine secondary. First quarter 19th century. 89" HOA, 56" WOA, 18 1/4" DOA.
Note: This lot is extremely heavy, please bring adequate help to load.
Catalogue Note: 
Based on the construction of this piece and its extreme size and weight, it is probable that it was constructed by a joiner and possibly as a built-in or static piece made for the space. The top edge of the object has very shallow minor nail holes and very little evidence of a large attached cornice, which could imply that the cornice was either very small and partially attached to the ceiling above, or it was integral with the house, such as a crown molding or other architectural element. 

Condition

Good condition overall, one end of the applied bracket foot base currently detached but present with other small pieces of base molding also detached but present; two areas of minor loss/gouging; feet with a possible minor loss to height; the original finish in better-than-average condition with some scattered minor wear and an area which has been cleaned on the door; some small drawers may be old replacements.
