Unusual Carved Oak Cupboard

19th century

Sold by Athey Antiques

Description

a most unusual oak cupboard, heavily carved to all sides with various figures and decorations, the frieze drawer with handles in the form of mens heads, the panelled doors with applied carved masks has a working lock with key and opens to shelved interior, a concealed drawer to the base again with handles in the form of carved heads, standing on large paw feet.

this really is a most unique cupboard, we certainly haven't seen another, it has some signs of wear and some old (long dead) worm holes but nothing which detracts from the cupboard itself at all, overall it is still very solid, extremely eye catching, decorative, and a very distinctive piece of furniture.
