18th century

Sold by Anthony Short Antiques

Description

Charming Late 18th-Century George III Oak & Inlaid Corner Cupboard

A particularly handsome late 18th-century George III period oak and inlay corner cupboard of classic country house character.

The upper section features an impressive 18-pane astragal glazed door, opening to reveal a beautifully painted blue interior with two shaped, fixed shelves, ideal for displaying glassware, ceramics or treasured decorative pieces. Below, a blind two door cupboard encloses a single fitted shelf, offering practical concealed storage.

Of typical Georgian form, the cupboard stands on its original bracket feet and retains its original back boards, boasting a superb, untouched colour and rich patina throughout. The moulded oak panelled doors are finely detailed with satinwood and ebony stringing, and constructed in the traditional pinned manner, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship of the period. A well proportioned moulded cornice with attractive ogee profile crowns the piece, giving it real architectural presence.

The cupboard separates into two sections for ease of transport and installation. Recently cleaned and wax polished in our workshops, it is offered in excellent condition and ready to place. This charming late 18th-century oak corner cupboard is more than a functional storage piece: it is a testament to the enduring quality, beauty and warmth of English Georgian country furniture, bringing both elegance and authenticity to any interior.
