Art Noveau Mahogany and Marquetry Inlaid Cabinet, Shapland & Petter

Art Noveau Mahogany and Marquetry Inlaid Cabinet, Circa 1900?Attributed to Shapland & Petter, Barnstaple

This is beautiful Art Noveau/Arts & Crafts mahogany display cabinet inlaid throughout with copper and brass and attributed to Shapland and Petter of Barnstaple. We date this to circa 1900.

It has a projecting cornice with a deep frieze inlaid with stylised flowers and buds above a pair of astragal glazed doors and sides each with four original convex bubble glass panes. There is a mirror to the back and the base is velvet lined.

The open display shelf beneath features an arch inlaid with more stylised flowers, an arched bevelled mirror to the back and a smaller shelf in front supported by flat capped tapering uprights. The base section has two arched panelled doors opening to reveal a shelf and stands on block feet united by an inlaid apron.

This is a very attractive and stylish cabinet, all the joints are all solid, the mirrors are original and as such do have some fine spotting. There are locks fitted to each door but no key and the key plate and moulding are missing from the lower right door. There is a small chip out the right side of the cornice at the back edge and there are a couple of other marks to the cornice.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
