Description:
Cotter Chest c.1885 Made by R Cotter of Bell Road, Remuera, this chest has the distinction of carrying its maker's label. Labels on New Zealand furniture were seldom used but are useful and edifying; like many of his contemporaries Mr Cotter was cabinetmaker, upholsterer and undertaker. The existence of a label helps to identify and attribute design elements and construction methods to regions and makers and to categorize other items of furniture. The drawer fronts are made from rimu, the frame from kauri and the decorative elements on the centre top drawer incorporate red cedar and rewarewa. Height 123 cm Width 120 cm Ref: Furniture of the New Zealand Colonial Era, p 369
