The remarkable double-raised panel door, kast survives in outstanding condition. It appears to retain its original, thin, pigmented varnish finish with a reddish cast. Kings County kasten makers used mahogany in conjunction with red gumwood. The mahogany is in the applied panels and serves as contrast. The majority of Kings County kasten have interior drawers that served as storage for more delicate textiles such as fine lacework and needlework.
