Also Antique Furniture has dated this Walnut Hanging Corner Cupboard to the 18th Century.
Designed to fit neatly into the corner of a room, it features an architectural moulded and arched cornice above a single arched mirrored door opening to reveal three fixed shelves.
The cupboard is veneered in well-figured walnut with attractive colour and patination developed over more than three centuries. The original mirror plate, with its characteristic age-related foxing, enhances both its decorative appeal and historical authenticity. Beneath the door is a rare and desirable pull-out candle slide, allowing the mirror to be illuminated when in use.
Early hanging corner cupboards of this quality are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly examples retaining their original mirror, working lock and key, and candle slide. It is an elegant and highly decorative piece of English furniture, equally suited to a period interior or as a statement piece in a contemporary setting.

CONDITION
There are the expected marks, scratches and small chips commensurate with over 300 years of age and use. The walnut veneers display minor historic movement and small opening to some joints, together with evidence of old, inactive worm. The original mirror plate has attractive age-related foxing and a small crack to the upper right corner. The cupboard retains its original lock with a working key and remains solid, structurally sound and ready for use.
As with all antique and vintage furniture, this piece has been used and enjoyed over many years and should be expected to show signs of age and use. We aim to describe any significant faults, repairs or alterations as accurately and honestly as possible.
