Federal Breakfront
This breakfront was inspired by one built around 1810 (builder unknown) constructed out of solid mahogany. The sides, bottom and top are dovetailed together for superior strength. The middle supports are fastened with dovetails on the bottom through tenons with wedges at the top. The legs have matching graduated bellflowers and stringing and the spade feet are cut out from a solid leg blank. The doors are solid 1/4 sawn clear pine counter veneered with mahogany, face veneered with an exceptional crotch mahogany veneer, and boasts two book-matched left and right doors. The ovals are inside hand made black and white banding. The drawers are built out of solid mahogany counter and veneered with the same crotch wood book-matched out with maple stringing solid pine sides and bottoms. The top drawer oval is made from a piece of book-matched veneer surrounded by the same black and
white banding.
