Elevation, Floorplan and Side View of Cabinet on Lion's Feet

ca. 1710–1740

Not on view

This sheet contains the elevation, floorplan, and side view for a wooden cabinet or chest with double doors. The decoration of the piece is largely architectural, with the exception of the lion's feet upon which the cabinet rests. The ornament in the upper door panels suggests a date in the early eighteenth century. The floorplan has been worked out in detail, with various colors indicating the distinct elements of the construction.
