Virginia Corner Cabinet
This curly cherry corner cabinet was based on several 18th century examples from Virginia and Pennsylvania. This
corner cabinet features a base section with two drawers and a large cabinet with a shelf. The upper section is
divided with four shelves behind the glass doors. The glass doors, cupboard doors and drawers lock with
reproduction locks, and brass reproduction hardware is used throughout.
The overall size of the cabinet can be customized to your space requirements and storage needs. This cabinet
could easily be built from Maple, Walnut, Mahogany or Cherry.
