Monumental Ebonized and Parcel-Gilt Replica of Thomas Chippendale's Kenure Cabinet on Stand in the Chinese Chippendale Taste, 20th century, with a large open pagoda-form structural crest flanked to either side by smaller like structures, the central section fitted with a single arched door flanked to either side by a recessed lower cabinet, above a conforming deeply fret-carved frieze, raised on foliate-carved cluster-column legs to plinth bases, the whole with gilt accents, h. 121", w. 65", d. 23-1/2". The present cabinet is a re-creation of an 18th-century masterpiece from the Palmer family's Georgian manse, "Kenure Park", just north of Dublin. The Kenure cabinet has been attributed to Thomas Chippendale based on a host of elements matching those in his 1754 and 1755 The Gentleman & Cabinet-Maker's Director. Features corresponding to those depicted in Chippendale include the glazing bar patterns, the pagoda canopies and case profile. The original cabinet sold at Christie's, London in June 2008 for $5,325,000.
