Queen Anne Walnut Corner Cupboard with Beveled Mirror Plate

18th century
Description

A truly remarkable find in original condition. To the door a shaped soft beveled mirror plate is framed by a cross-grain molding of typical Queen Anne design which is further crossbanded, feather-banded and edged to the opening with a single dee-molding. The hinges and escutcheon are original and clearly express an Asian influence much like that seen on Chinese lacquered furniture of the period. The carcass is constructed of solid oak and unusually has a dovetailed construction, rather than the usual 'nailed'. We particularly like the bookmatched walnut used on the cross grain cornice.

Provenance: Private UK collection.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Queen Anne furniture, dating from the early eighteenth century, is characterised by subtle curves, restrained ornamentation, and prominent use of figured walnut veneers. Pieces frequently incorporate arched frames, cabriole lines, and detailed brass hardware.

Cabinetmakers primarily used solid oak for carcase construction, faced with highly figured walnut veneers. Door panels often incorporated hand-blown glass or mercury-backed mirror plates held by moulded timber frames.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-cut dovetail joints, thick hand-sawn veneers, original brass hinges with hand-filed edges, and natural oxidisation on untouched backboards and timber interiors.

A wall-mounted corner cupboard utilises awkward architectural nooks while offering compact storage. It can serve as a focal point when placed in hallways, dining spaces, or cloakrooms alongside neutral paint palettes.

Apply a high-grade beeswax polish sparingly along the timber grain to maintain moisture without damaging the finish. Clean original mirror glass using a dry microfiber cloth to prevent liquid from deteriorating the silvered backing.
