By the early 19th century, some English medicine chests were manufactured in the continental European style. In the present example, the winged doors an fenestrated wooden partitions are a larger version of contemporary European designs. For a similar example, see A.M. Young, Antique Medicine Chests, London, 1994, p.32, fig.21.
