- Furniture: Food press and painted dresser with pierced decoration placed against the rear wall of a dwelling house in Capnagower. The dresser partially obscures the earlier bed outshot (a space now occupied by a large press). Dressers and other items of furniture were made by Island joiners, often from flotsam timber or by furniture-makers on the mainland. Dressers were introduced in the latter years of the nineteenth century.
