George III Bow Front Hanging Corner Cabinet Plum Pudding Mahogany C1780

18th century
Description

DESCRIPTION

A fine George III bow-front hanging corner cabinet dating from the mid to late eighteenth century, veneered in richly figured plum pudding mahogany with satinwood crossbanding.

The cabinet has a moulded cornice above a pair of bowed doors opening to a shelved interior. The distinctive bow-fronted form is less commonly encountered than standard angular corner cupboards, giving the piece a more refined appearance while making full use of the corner space. The beautifully figured mahogany veneers are framed by satinwood crossbanding, demonstrating the restrained elegance associated with good-quality late Georgian cabinet making.

The cabinet provides practical storage whilst retaining the clean architectural lines that make Georgian furniture so versatile in both period and contemporary interiors. It would work equally well in a dining room, drawing room, hallway, study or kitchen.

The cabinet retains what appears to be its original lock together with a working key.

DIMENSIONS

Height: 113cm

Width: 75cm

Depth: approximately 54cm (measured from the corner to the front centre)

CONDITION

Presented in very good antique condition. There are very light surface marks, scratches and knocks commensurate with age and careful use. The interior has been painted at a later date, providing a clean and practical finish. The cabinet retains what appears to be its original lock together with a working key. It is 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. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report. If you would like further information or additional photographs, we are always happy to help before purchase.

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.
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.

A George III bow front corner cabinet is an 18th-century storage cupboard designed with a convex curved front and a right-angled back to fit flush into the junction of two walls.

Cabinetmakers predominantly utilised solid mahogany and decorative veneers such as plum pudding or flame mahogany, often featuring boxwood inlaid stringing and oak or pine secondary woods.

Authentic period pieces exhibit hand-cut jointing, hand-planed timber backing boards, original brass or iron keyhole escutcheons, and natural oxidation across the timber surfaces.

Mounting or placing the cabinet in an unutilised corner provides practical storage while bringing warm wood tones to modern dining spaces, hallways, or living rooms.

Dust the cabinet surface regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply beeswax polish sparingly once per year, keeping the item away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
