Yolanda Gray Antiques has dated this piece to the 1800s.
Three elegant mahogany spice drawers sit below the glass cabinet. The cock-beaded spice drawers feature faux keyholes with oak diamond shaped escutcheons.
Below, sits a sturdy oak base with a “two-over-two” drawer design (two small drawers above two larger drawers). The pine lined hand dovetailed drawers boasts geometric inlay to the drawer fronts, with oak diamond shaped escutcheons, and the original working locks (with key) but with later brassware. The drawers sit in a cock-beaded frame. The cupboard features “dot and diamond” motifs inlaid to the stiles on the glazed cabinet, and stiles to the base. The design and style of this piece is typical of vernacular furniture from the Talwrn area of Anglesey, North Wales. The base stands on its original ogee bracket oak feet; the sides of the cupboard feature inset oak panels (cupboards from this region with oak sides are deemed better quality than those with pine sides). The back of the cupboard features its original pine backboards. The cupboard dismantles into two sections for easy access into the house.
