Note: It is always interesting to compare pieces to see how styles, as well as cabinetmaking techniques, changed over the years. The 17th century technique of having a moulded bead on the carcass surrounding drawers on cabinet furniture yielded in the 18th century. It became a cockbeaded edge on the drawers themselves to protect the veneered sections of the drawers. This lasted into the 19th century.
