Item
of the Month Introducing this superb oak panelled cupboard C1670-1690. This
cupboard's grandeur leaps out, it is a piece that would
have sat comfortably in a period hall house, manor house
or even castle and would have certainly been commissioned
by a wealthy family of the 17th Century. It is traditionally
panelled and pegged enabling it to be fully dismantled
into each of its component parts. It has its original
iron hinges. It is simply panelled and its striking
cornice has been later carved decoratively probably
in the 19th Century. Original wax polish finish. Lovely
rich colour and fine patina that can only be developed
over time. A stunning piece of antique furniture.
