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

Corner cupboards gained widespread popularity during the eighteenth century in Britain as efficient space-saving storage solutions. Local cabinetmakers crafted standing and hanging versions using native woods like pine and oak, often finishing them with painted surfaces or glazes suited to regional country homes.

These pieces were primarily constructed from timber such as Scots pine, oak, or elm. Glazed upper doors incorporated hand-drawn glass held by lead or wooden astragal bars, while iron or brass hardware was utilised for hinges and locks.

Authentic late 18th-century cupboards exhibit signs of period craftsmanship, including hand-planed backboards, hand-cut dovetail joints, irregular glass panes, and original cut nails. Original painted finishes often show natural wear, patination, and minor craquelure.

A standing corner cupboard makes use of architectural angles that are otherwise unoccupied. Positioning the piece against light-coloured walls allows the dark wood or paint finish to anchor the space, while the upper glazed shelves serve to display ceramics or glassware.

Preserving the original finish requires keeping the item away from direct heat sources and extreme humidity fluctuations to prevent wood movement. Clean surfaces gently with a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding chemical solvents, harsh abrasives, or excessive liquid.
