This Georgian corner cabinet dates to 1750 and is formed from mahogany and brass with a dark red-brown colour and flame mahogany panels. The structure incorporates a moulded cornice, fluted pilasters to the sides, twin panelled doors, and brass keyhole escutcheons with a hanging tassel. Internally, scalloped shelves display an original green paint finish, complemented by a working lock and key. The cabinet measures 118 cm high, 83 cm wide, and 59 cm deep. Designed for wall mounting in a corner, this piece serves as a traditional storage cabinet in a living room, dining room, or hallway. The exterior displays rich wood grain figuring across the doors, contrasted by the vertical fluting on the canted sides and the detailed dental frieze beneath the top edge.

FAQs

Originating in the 18th century, Georgian corner cabinets were designed to utilise space efficiently within dining rooms and parlours. They typically feature flame mahogany veneers, panelled doors, classical moulding, and high-quality cabinetmaking techniques characteristic of the era.

These pieces were predominantly constructed from solid mahogany and flame mahogany veneers laid over secondary softwoods like pine or oak. Hand-cut dovetail joints, brass escutcheons, and hand-planed timber surfaces are standard construction elements.

Authentic period examples exhibit evidence of hand tools, including uneven saw marks on reverse surfaces, hand-forged iron hinges, and original brass lock plates. The timber displays natural patination, oxidation on untreated areas, and minor age-related shrinkage across timber panels.

A Georgian corner cabinet can be wall-mounted in a contemporary dining space or hallway to introduce architectural character without encroaching on floor space. Styling the interior shelves with modern ceramics or glassware creates an engaging juxtaposition between historic cabinetry and contemporary decor.

Maintain the polished timber by dusting regularly with a dry, lint-free cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice per year. Position the cabinet away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent wood shrinkage and veneer fading.
