Description

-Welcome to Mersham Manor Antiques-

A most charming 17th century, oak pegged construction, hanging livery cupboard, wardrobe.

c 1680.

Having two panelled doors, with beautiful original carvings to the front, which open to reveal to the left side a later added brass hanging rail with four brass hooks to the back. There is a partition between the two spaces with the right side having a later added adjustable shelf with sliding hanging rail beneath. There are three options of height for the shelf.

Would make an excellent hall coat cupboard, with space in the base for boots and shoes. Or because of the hanging rails a bedroom wardrobe.

The cupboard comes in two parts, making it easier to manoeuver. The top door section lifts up off of the base chest section.

The character to this charming cupboard is wonderful, having a lovely rich colour and patina.

The back of the cupboard is also wonderful, showing the original timbers which are wonderfully thick and rustic.

Standing on stile feet.

We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

FAQs

Originating in medieval times as a board for serving food, livery cupboards evolved by the 17th century into enclosed storage furniture used in affluent households for storing provisions, clothing, and valuables.

These pieces were constructed from solid English oak using traditional frame-and-panel techniques, pegged joints, and hand-carved decorative motifs, reflecting the joinery methods of the period.

Authentic pieces display period-appropriate tool marks, hand-split timber, natural patina, traditional joinery such as wooden pegs, and historical wear consistent with age rather than modern replication.

Pairing heavy antique timber with minimalist surroundings, neutral walls, or contemporary lighting creates a striking focal point that highlights the historical texture and craftsmanship of the piece.

Maintain stable indoor humidity levels, keep the wood away from direct heat sources and sunlight, and periodically nourish the surface with traditional beeswax to preserve the finish.
