Sheraton illustrated in his DRAWING BOOK exquisitely painted border designs for pier tables. He also showed finely painted oval medallions of classical figure subjects as well as other Neo-Classic ornament appropriate for use in painted panels.
A china closet with glass doors and mirrors at the back is made in different woods and several styles to fit against the wall or to stand in the corner. Much expense is put into some of these closets, fine carving and careful finish adding to the cost of the handsome wood; and sometimes the shelves and sides are made of glass to show the interior contents to better advantage.
Thomas Sheraton used straight tapering legs of either quadrangular or cylindrical form. The cylindrical tapered legs were often vertically fluted or reeded and sometimes spirally turned. The legs were often finished with brass toe caps and wheel casters. The quadrangular leg often terminated in a spade foot. Occasionally the legs were joined with stretchers.
