Description

A superb and imposing early 17th century Flemish cupboard with two small doors over two large door over two drawer configuration. The doors have their original locks and single key that works all of the locks. The cupboard is divided by six reeded columns with Corinthian capital tops carved paneled doors with ebony roundels and biscuits, the top frieze beneath the heavy cornice is carved with rolling foliage and three projecting heads. To the bottom there are two drawers mimicking the same design the doors are decorated with, however they are flanked by carved corbels and below a heavily molded skirt above a large pair of turned feet. There has been a few minor restorations to this piece as you would expect with its age, the boards on top of the cornice have probably been replaced at the turn of the 19th century and the back stiles have been tipped but the overall condition is very much original and excellent.
