The upper section features a traditional open plate rack with three fixed shelves beneath a distinctive pierced scalloped gallery, designed to display pewter, pottery, and treasured household wares. The rich oak backboards exhibit beautiful grain, age marks, and surface wear accumulated over more than two centuries of use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe base is fitted with three drawers over three paneled cupboard doors, each retaining molded-edge fronts and original brass pulls. Behind the doors are generous storage compartments with fixed shelving, making the piece highly functional for modern dining, kitchen, or pantry use.
