Although you’d never know it, this cabinet, which looks as though it could be original to its setting, was made to occupy an awkward trapezoidal space next to a ductwork chase in this 1890s house. The cabinet’s casing matches the door and window trim in the home’s formal rooms, featuring chip-carved vines and fluted columns. The client, Richard Harter, made the two vertical columns on the cabinet’s sides himself, shaping and carving the corner blocks as part of a large-scale restoration. The rest of the work is by NR Hiller Design. Doves and petunias on the frieze recall the clients’ front porch in summer.
