介绍（中）	这个小柜子的门上由应用元素和线脚的几何图案组成的装饰，达到了明显的建筑效果。使用了几种不同的木材；最初，它们的颜色不同，增加了方案的复杂性。雕刻是17世纪殖民地风格家具的另一种主要装饰方法，装饰在家具的侧面。这是1636年从英国雅茅斯来到塞勒姆的约翰·西蒙兹（John Symonds）将细木工传统带到马萨诸塞州塞勒姆的四个类似橱柜之一。门上的八角形阳光图案是西蒙兹商店青睐的几何设计。门上的中央牌匾上刻着日期[16]79和原主人的首字母缩写，可能是马萨诸塞州贝弗利的Ephraim和Mary Herrick。锁着的门后面是十个大小不一的小抽屉，用来存放各种文件和贵重物品。
介绍（英）	The ornamentation composed of applied elements and geometric patterns of moldings on the door of this small cabinet achieves a distinctly architectural effect. Several different kinds of wood were employed; originally, they differed in color, adding to the complexity of the scheme. Carving, the other major method of decoration used on seventeenth-century style colonial furniture, adorns the sides of the piece. This is one of four similar cabinets attributed to the tradition of joinery brought to Salem, Massachusetts, by John Symonds, who came to Salem in 1636 from Yarmouth, England. The octagonal sunburst motif on the door was a geometric design favored by the Symonds shops. The center plaque on the door is inscribed with the date [16]79 and the initials of the original owners, probably Ephraim and Mary Herrick of Beverly, Massachusetts. Behind the locked door are ten small drawers of varying sizes meant for the safekeeping of documents and small valuables of all kinds.
