A CORNER Cupboard or Dresser, owned by Mr. Harry Long. Itoriginated in Connecticut and is of pine. An apparently small detailgives it much of its quaintness and feeling of antiquity. The boards in-stead of being seven-eighths are a flush inch thick, which affords a sense ofsolidity and stockiness.… … A CORNER Cupboard owned by Mr. George F. Ives of Danbury. It iswider than the usual style, and carries the original strap-and-wedge hinges.Such cupboards were as a rule made to fill the entire space from floor toceiling, the cornice being continuous with that of the room.
