The Queen Anne period is noted for the introduction of the cabriole leg and this gracefully curved design was used with paramount success throughout New England. Pieces of this type were probably created by adding a top to the lower half of a damaged highboy.

COUNTRY HEPPLEWHITE SIDEBOARD
$3895

DUNLAP SIDEBOARD
$4595
Experts cannot agree whether the Dunlap family actually built this as a sideboard or if it was really the base of a highboy that was being built in phases. Because of the high cost of early highboys, many families ordered the lower section as a bureau, with the idea of having the cabinetmaker complete the top at a later date. The top drawer, simulated to look like three, indicates that this piece was used as a server.
