Armário

Condado de Essex norte, Massachusetts

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

O grande armário de carvalho onde se guardavam têxteis, prata e outros objetos de valor era o móvel mais imponente nas residências da Nova Inglaterra do século XVII. Suas dimensões e riqueza ornamental evidenciavam a prosperidade e a posição social de seus proprietários. Esse magnífico exemplar possui ornamentos torneados de bordo escurecido que interpretam livremente formas clássicas; apresenta também frentes de gaveta com cavidades e saliências a intervalos regulares. A oficina que o fabricou (cujo nome ignoramos) era conhecida pela grande complexidade e variedade de suas cômodas e armários de carvalho.
