18th Century Welsh Oak Deuddarn

18th century
Description

A Welsh oak two-part storage cupboard ("deuddarn") circa late 1700s.

The top half consists of three cupboard doors, all beautifully panelled with the middle cuboard bearing pigeon holes and drawers within.

On the inside of the middle door there is a collection of old recipes used by the previous owner(s) - pickles, cocktails etc - a wonderful element of social history.

The lower part features two large and one small drawer, along with two cupboards. A good solid floor and a shelf sits inside each cupboard.

The panelling configuration on the whole piece is really interesting and well balanced. In superb condition, and incredibly well made.

Width 144cm / 56.75"

Depth 59cm / 23.25"

Height 188cm / 74"

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 18TH CENTURY:
Pegged mortise-and-tenon joints: traditional cabinet assembly without modern glue.
Hand-cut drawer dovetails: workshop bench work.
Ogee-arched fielded door panels: 18th-century regional styling.
Wide hand-sawn oak floorboards: timber dressed before mechanised sawmills.
Darkening and wear around the doors: many years of handling.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.

The upper section comprises three doors fitted with ogee arched panels, complemented by turned drop pendants beneath a projecting cornice, while the lower section includes three drawers with turned wooden knobs above fielded door panels. Standing 188 cm high, 144 cm wide and 59 cm deep, the two-part storage furniture provides substantial compartmentalised storage.

The solid wood construction accommodates everyday household storage needs with a traditional configuration of internal shelves and compartments.

FAQs

A deuddarn is a traditional Welsh two-tier press cupboard originating in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, designed primarily for storing linens, food, and tableware in country homes.

These pieces were typically constructed from locally sourced solid oak using peg jointing, hand-planed panels, ogee arched door panels, and fielded cupboard doors.

Authentic pieces feature hand-sawn backboards, hand-carved wooden joinery pegs, natural timber shrinkage along panel seams, and period-appropriate iron or brass fittings.

A Welsh deuddarn serves as a focal statement piece in open-plan dining spaces or hallways, pairing effectively with natural stone flooring, modern ceramics, and understated neutral decor.

Maintain the surface finish by dusting regularly with a soft lint-free cloth and applying clear beeswax polish annually while keeping the item away from direct heat sources.
