Very fine Hepplewhite inlaid mahogany D-shaped
sideboard with recessed serpentine center cupboard compartment flanked by turrets; the
drawers and cupboard doors with black and white line inlaid borders with cut corners; the
tapered legs with a distinctive chain inlay with a crown cresting each loop and suspended
from a flower. This inlay appears on a sideboard made by Aaron Chapin in 1804 for
Frederick Robbins (see ANTIQUES December 1928, page 522) and supports an attribution to
that maker. Attributed to Aaron Chapin, Hartford, Connecticut, circa 1790-1810. 72 1/2" long, 40 1/2" high, 26
1/2" deep.
