Germany. Circa 1820.

German oak kas with bracket top, raised panel doors, chamfered and fluted corners, two drawers, block feet.  Compass inlay on frieze and doors.  Unique raised panel sides are a graceful curvilinear addition to the overall rectilinear appearance of this cupboard.  The doors secure with a single lock, but the drawers have no lock, per se, however, a peg through the floor of the cupboard secures the right-hand drawer and is a possible later attempt at security.
