Pope Valuables Cabinet

Pope Valuables Cabinet

This extraordinary cabinet is part of a group of joined furniture made in the Salem, Massachusetts, shop of John and James Symonds during the last quarter of the 17th century. Made primarily of quarter sawn oak, it also incorporates maple, red cedar and walnut in its decorative moldings and split turnings. A large related court cupboard from Salem belonged to Nathaniel Putnam, whose family instigated the witchcraft hysteria of 1692-1693.
16 3/8” high, 17” wide, 9 ½” deep
