Antique Federal Bird's Eye Maple & Cherry Jelly Cabinet With Rare Butler's Desk

With our absolute highest compliments Bay Colony Antiques takes the utmost pleasure in presenting this exceptional and rare antique jelly cabinet. This example is one of the rarest forms of either a jelly cupboard or a butler's desk that we have been privileged enough to find. Typically a traditional jelly cabinet will have a single empty drawer situated over a pair of cupboard doors for the purpose of preserved food storage. This cabinet features a full butler's drawer section inside the single upper drawer which has a drop-down face accessed by depressing the button locks inset on both sides of the drawer interior. The drop-down face allows the owner to get full use of this cabinet as a writing desk complete with a full interior designed for writing implements and storage of stationary papers. The traditional American butler's desk is styled with a single writing desk unit housed above three additional long drawers free of interior compartments and generally reserved for the storage
