Cherry, carpathian elm veneer, and ebony cabinet
After his daughter fell in love with a piece in the book Biedermeier by Angus Wilkie (Abbeville Press, 1987), Whiteley set out to make one for her. He extrapolated the dimensions from the photo and did some research, deciding on a cherry substrate with carpathian elm veneer and solid ebony escutcheons and feet. “The carpathian elm creates this cathedral-like effect moving from the base to the top.”
