Antique Aesthetic Movement Cabinet by John Moyr Smith

19th century
Description

An incredibly beautiful and exceptionally rare antique aesthetic movement cabinet by John Moyr Smith. This was made in England, it dates from the 1880-1890 period.

This is of outstanding quality, John Moyr Smith was a highly regarded architect, reflected on the striking carved roof on this piece. He was also known for his work with Minton on tiles, also on display on this piece.

This is solid oak throughout, the pitched roof is finely carved with incredible detail. The roof tiles have been painstakingly etched and there is also a intricately carved bear at the front. This has shelving and two door cabinet at the bottom, the Minton tiles are stunning and this has exceptionally high quality brass mounts as well.

This is a one of a kind museum quality collectors piece, sympathetically cleaned and oiled to revive but not diminish from the original. The condition is excellent for its age, with just some minor surface wear here and there.

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

Originating in the late 19th century, Aesthetic Movement furniture emphasizes craftsmanship, stylized natural forms, and art for arts sake, frequently incorporating printed ceramic tiles, incised carving, and architectural motifs.

These cabinets were typically constructed from solid dark oak, walnut, or ebonised wood, accented with earthenware ceramic tiles, turned spindles, and stamped brass hardware.

Authentic pieces feature signature design details such as inset earthenware tiles, Japanese-influenced geometric patterns, exposed brass strap hinges, and gabled or pedimented rooflines.

Position the cabinet against a neutral wall to emphasize its structural silhouette, using the open shelving to present minimalist glass or contemporary ceramic collections.

Dust timber surfaces regularly with a soft, dry cloth and apply natural beeswax sparingly, ensuring that ceramic tiles are cleaned separately using a lightly damp cloth.
