A fine late 18th-century George III period wall-hanging corner cabinet, dating from around 1780–1790.
The cabinet is surmounted by a dentil-detailed moulded cornice above a richly figured mahogany-veneered frieze, inlaid with ebony and boxwood stringing. The single door is framed with mahogany crossbanding around an oak panel door, itself with a further banded inner border and a well-executed shell inlay.
The door retains its original brass hinges; the escutcheon may be a later addition. The lock has been replaced with a period correct replacement, and comes with a working key. The interior, painted in an off-white, has three shelves, ideal for display. The cabinet rests on a shallow moulded base.
All original timbers, including the backboards. The piece has been through our workshop where it was sensitively cleaned, wax-polished, and serviced, leaving it in excellent ready-to-use condition.

Condition
This corner cupboard is in very good condition for its age and is structurally sound and sturdy. All timbers are original. Original hardware apart from the sympathetic replacement lock and key, which are of similar period. Minor marks and blemishes are present as expected with use and age, but there are no loose joints. The cabinet has been carefully cleaned and waxed, preserving its warm patina and ensuring it is now ready for everyday use.
As with all antique furniture, some wear, marks, and signs of age are to be expected and are part of its historic character.
