EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exquisite "Press Cupboard" by Francis Borelli, created around 1936. The Press Cupboard, a masterpiece of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s, is a testament to Borelli's exceptional woodcarving skills. The intricately carved wooden cupboard, embellished with colorful watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite accents on paperboard, stands as a stunning example of the period's artistic sensibilities. Borelli's Press Cupboard is a unique fusion of traditional woodcarving techniques and modern design elements. The cupboard's brown, hand-carved surface is adorned with intricate geometric patterns, floral motifs, and delicate scrollwork, creating a visually rich and textured surface. The piece is further enhanced by the use of color, which adds depth and dimension to the design. The Press Cupboard was likely used as a display case or storage unit in a home or gallery setting. Its compact size and ornate design make it an ideal piece for showcasing smaller objects, such as prints, photographs, or other decorative items. This Press Cupboard is an important addition to the Heritage Art collection, which showcases the best of American art from the 20th century. The piece is a significant representation of the country's rich artistic heritage and the importance of handicrafts and woodcarving during the Thirties and Forties. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., which houses a vast collection of American art, would be an ideal location for displaying this beautiful and historic piece. Eleanor Ruelos, a renowned art historian and curator, would no doubt appreciate the Press Cupboard's artistic merit and historical significance as an index of American design.
