Provenance: Private Collection
Note This fine cellaret is from a small group of examples documented to the shop of Joseph Freeman. A very closely related example with a history in the Freeman family is in the collections of Colonial Williamsburg. See Hurst and Prown, Southern Furniture 1680 to 1830, catalog number 164. For more on Joseph Freeman and another illustrated example, see Bivens, The Furniture of Coastal North Carolina, page 375, (MESDA research file, 2548)
