FAQs

A court cupboard is a traditional multi-tiered storage unit originating in the medieval and Renaissance periods, primarily used for displaying plate and storing food or provisions.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid European oak, utilizing traditional joinery methods such as mortise and tenon joints, pegged construction, and hand-carved panels.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct hand-tool marks, traditional joinery without modern fasteners, iron butterfly or strap hinges, and natural timber oxidisation consistent with age.

Pairing dark, carved antique wood with minimalist white walls, contemporary lighting, and neutral textiles creates a balanced scheme that highlights the historical craftsmanship.

Maintain antique oak by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a dry cloth, and occasionally applying a traditional beeswax polish to nourish the wood.
