The gun cabinet has a unique history as it was originally made for artist and frequent Molesworth collaborator, Edward Grigware. The cabinet was acquired from the Grigware estate in 1962. Outstanding cabinet work and joinery. The cabinet was modified by the previous owner to use as a display case but all of the original components for the display of firearms are intact and included with the cabinet.
Antler pull hardware on doors and drawer.
Padded leather floor with brass tack trim. In a few short years Molesworth had made a name for himself furnishing the Moses Annenberg lodge and big hotels in Wyoming and Montana. In 1940 he received a commission to furnish the TE Ranch which had formerly belonged to Buffalo Bill. Edward Grigware, an old classmate from Chicago collaborated with Molesworth on the TE Ranch project and several other commissions. Molesworth made furniture for some of the most prominent Americans of the twentieth century.
