Early footed wardrobe or schrank. Rather plain piece except for a bit of decoration on the cornice and iron bars that span across the chest with locks on them. The hinges are long iron on each of the 4 doors and the drop front section.
Schrank, Lancaster or Chester County. 108 inches high, 76 wide. Very unusual broken arch crown moldingm and rare twisted column in center. Similar iron pulls were on the Old Valley Inn, near York, Pennsylvania. Doubtless rep-Revolutionary. Courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Richard Flanders Smith. Photograph copyright by Lewis J. Matt III

Another schrank made in Lancaster county, c. 1740. The shape of the panels and the polychromed carvings are unique. The shape and size of the moldings at the cornice and base are unusually large. It appears that it has never had feet. Courtesy Heritage Center of Lancaster County. Photograph copyright by Lewis J. Matt III
