For a similar example with a desk compartment and turned feet see Derita Coleman Williams and Nathan Harsh, The Art and Mystery of Tennessee Furniture (Nashville, 1988), p. 111, fig. 75. For comparable pieces with reeded stile carvings terminating in arches see p. 213, figs. 272 and 273. Like the present lot, all of these examples are constructed of cherrywood.
