One of Cumbria’s most historically important mansion houses, grade I-listed Corby Castle sits on a plateau, rising above the picturesque River Eden to the east of Carlisle. The Manor of Corby was granted to Hubert de Vallibus by Henry II and passed to Andrew de Harcia, Earl of Carlisle before being given to Richard Salkeld in 1336. The estate remained in the hands of the Salkeld family until it was sold in 1611 to Lord William Howard, the third son of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk. The house is built around a red sandstone peel tower, or fortified tower house, built in the 13th century; William Howard added a two-storied L-shaped house to the peel tower, and the house was once again modified in the early 19th century by descendant Henry Howard. Between 1812 and 1814, Scottish architect Peter Nicholson gave the castle a new rectangular plan and the harmonious neo-classical façade in the distinctive local red sandstone that graces the building today. Corby Castle remained in the Howard family until 1994, when Lord and Lady Ballyedmond, as new owners, began an inspired revival of Corby, giving new life to one of the great Cumbrian mansions.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. 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. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

The Louis XVI Revival style emerged in the mid-to-late 19th century, drawing inspiration from late 18th-century French neoclassicism. Key characteristics include straight lines, symmetrical forms, fluted or tapered square legs, classical motifs, and the integration of marble tops with brass or bronze gallery rails.

19th-century French petit commodes frequently feature hardwood frames clad in mahogany, walnut, or rosewood veneers. Surface tops are commonly constructed from white or grey veined marble, accompanied by gilt-brass or bronze drawer handles, galleries, and leg sabots.

Authentic pieces display period-accurate construction techniques such as hand-cut dovetail joints on drawers, oak or pine secondary drawer linings, natural patination on brass hardware, and original marble cut to fit the specific contours of the cabinet base.

These compact storage cabinets function effectively as symmetrical bedside tables flanking a modern bed or as occasional side chests in a hallway. The warm mahogany tones and marble tops provide a tactile contrast when set against contemporary neutral walls and minimal modern lighting.

Mahogany veneers require regular dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and occasional polishing with natural beeswax along the grain. Marble surfaces should be kept free of acidic liquids and cleaned using a pH-neutral cleaner to prevent etching and discoloration.
