Abstract (en)

Recent research has tied a celebrated inlaid cherry desk-and-bookcase at Winterthur Museum to a group of nearly 40 closely related objects, one of which bears the inscription of its maker, Nathan Lombard of Sutton, MA. This article explores the characteristics of the group and chronicles the career of the little-known cabinetmaker.
