American country furniture was made outside of city centers and was primarily concerned with practicality rather than decoration. While more common than the high style pieces of the time, I find many original examples of country furniture to be no less impressive. This country hutch bookshelf in American cherry is about as simple of a design as you can get with a mop-board base and a single run of ogee trim adorning the top crown. The beautiful cherry in this piece tells the story and it will only become more beautiful with time.
