Impressive Oak Bow Fronted Corner Cabinet 1700s

18th century
For Sale by Limited Editions
Description

This Oak corner cabinet is a rather special example. I know we have had numerous examples over the years but this one has the break front with the pillars to the sides. The pillars are reeded and carry an inlay to the top and bottom of each. The H hinges are tidy and fully operational and what we believe is the original escutcheon in front of the lock. There is a key but although working the lock is worn and not perfect.

This cupboard dates from the 1700s and some later work, ie adding of the castellations on the cornice. It is tidy inside, having been painted over the years in green, a popular thing to have been done on these.

The cross banded Oak doors are quarter sawn and display good examples of medullary rays in the grain. A lovely example with good colour and graining in very presentable overall condition. Very Sensible price too.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Bow-fronted corner cabinets gained popularity during the 18th century, designed specifically to utilise unused corner space in dining rooms and parlours. Featuring a convex curved front, these wall-mounted or standing cabinets provided storage for glassware, spices, or tea services.

Georgian corner cupboards were predominantly constructed from solid oak, mahogany, or walnut, often featuring quarter-sawn oak panels to display medullary rays. Features included brass H-hinges, decorative keyhole escutcheons, and carved mouldings or inlaid wood paterae.

Authentic 18th-century cabinets display hand-sawn timber backing, hand-cut joinery, and natural wear around original iron or brass fittings. Look for irregularities in the interior construction and historical patination on the oak surface.

Mounting an antique corner cabinet in a dining space, kitchen, or hallway optimises unused vertical space while adding architectural interest. Pair it with neutral wall backgrounds and display curated ceramics inside to balance historical craftsmanship with contemporary decor.

Dust the cabinet regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply a beeswax polish annually along the wood grain to maintain the finish. Avoid direct sunlight, radiator heat, and high humidity, which can cause timber panels to warp or split.
