NEW ENGLAND WHALE TAIL SHELF EARLY 19th C.


Description

A nicely made 19th century New England walnut whale tail shelf. This shelf features dovetail construction in base, dado joinery, square nails and a early finish (probably original). With the exception of a very minor 1″ loss on bottom shelf, the shelf is in excellent condition. Shrinkage required some additional nails to be added over the years and as a result the shelf is sturdy and strong.(HEDE) Dimensions: 27″W x 21″H, Graduated Shelves 4″, 5 7/8″, 6 1/2″ List Price: $950
