In colonial New England, valuable furniture was often at the center of bitter inheritance disputes. Rather than letting one heir take a prized desk or chest, families sometimes resolved quarrels by sawing the piece in two—one taking the upper case, the other the lower. Cheryl Donahue’s Dunlap desk is believed to be such a survivor, a rare reminder of how even furniture could become entangled in family drama. See more of Cheryl’s home in the Fall 2025 issue of A Primitive Place magazine. #DunlapF
