Gentlemans secretary 1800-1810 Attributed to Nehemiah Adams One of only about a dozen known examples attributed to Nehemiah Adams, this piece shows great unity of design, achieved through the rhythmic use of ellipses—a favorite Neoclassical shape—in the panels of the cabinet base. The ellipses are echoed in the muntins (the strips dividing the individual panes of glass) of the glazed upper bookcase doors. The form of this gentleman's secretary-and-bookcase is derived from plate 52 of Thomas Sheraton's "The Cabinet-Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book" (London, 1793).
