Paine Furniture Company was founded in Boston in 1835 and eventually became one of the largest furniture companies in New England.
Tiger Oak has a distinctive, wavy, horizontal grain pattern with rich reddish-brown color, which is a result of the quarter-sawing wood milling process which is rarely used today.
This cabinet has been in our family for over 100 years--it came to me upon my grandfather's death in 1971. It lived in his farmhouse in West Fitchburg for many, many years before that. My father, who died at the age of 92 in 2010 told me many times that as a child his mother use to store pies in the cabinet to keep them fresh.
Measures approximately 63 inches tall and 45 inches wide in the back. It's approximately 16 inches deep. Shelves have grooves in them to places dishes, etc. in for display. Downsizing.
