The top section features a large open canopy top section incorporating panelled sides with turned spindles at front. The middle section incorporates three narrow moulded frieze drawers with three small cupboard doors below. The central cupboard door, which was designed to impersonate a fixed panel, is in fact a hidden door, which contains four small drawers behind. The secret compartments can be accesses by sliding a wooden peg behind the door, accessed through the neighbouring cupboard door. The central section is decorated with turned droppers at either end. The lower section incorporates two wider moulded drawers above two large double panelled doors. The base incorporates a fixed shelf inside the cupboard. The cupboard doors retain their original iron pin hinges; the drawer fronts feature later period brass knobs and the drawers incorporate later oak linings. The brass key escutcheons are original. The cupboard doors feature working locks (with key). The cupboard stands on its original block feet, lovely fielded panel sides and the back retains its original panelled boards. The cupboard frame and doors have been constructed in the traditional joined peg construction method. The cupboard dismantles into three sections, for ease of transport and access into the house. All in all, this is a stunning piece of early period oak antique furniture.
