Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1900s:
Turned Moorish spindle grilles: intricate decorative woodwork favoured by London retailers.
Dovetailed drawer linings: solid cabinet construction before modern factory fasteners.
Natural oxidisation on brass handles: soft darkening from many years of touch.
Soft rubbing on bottom shelf stretcher: wear from shoes and floor cleaning.

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.

This walnut corner cabinet exemplifies the Anglo-Moorish style of 1900. The warm brown timber glows with a polished finish, complemented by castellation along the top cresting, open horseshoe arches, intricate mashrabiya fretwork spindles, and two central drawers fitted with brass drop handles above starburst relief panels on the lower cupboard doors. Turned finials punctuate the tiered display sections, while open arched side alcoves and an arched undertrim complete the structure. The piece measures 184 cm high, 89 cm wide, and 48.5 cm deep. Position this corner cabinet in a hallway, dining room, or living room to display decorative items, ceramics, or books while adding architectural interest to an unused wall angle. The open upper shelves allow for curated displays of glassware or collectibles, and the enclosed lower cabinet provides concealed storage for everyday items. The compact triangular footprint fits neatly into room corners, making efficient use of floor space in traditional or eclectic interiors.

FAQs

Anglo-Moorish furniture emerged in the late nineteenth century, inspired by Islamic architecture, North African woodwork, and Middle Eastern design, characterised by horseshoe arches, lattice fretwork, and geometric carvings.

These pieces were typically constructed from solid hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or teak, featuring hand-turned spindles, panelled cupboard doors, brass hardware, and traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise mashrabiya fretwork, starburst relief carvings, distinct architectural cresting, high-grade wood finishes, and occasionally stamped maker marks or inventory labels on the reverse or interior framing.

Position the cabinet in an underutilised corner of a dining room, hallway, or study to maximise floor space, pairing it with neutral wall finishes and minimalist ceramic objects to highlight the detailed woodwork.

Dust the detailed fretwork regularly with a soft, dry brush, keep the timber away from direct heat sources or high humidity, and apply a beeswax polish annually along the wood grain to maintain the patinated surface.
