Welsh wall-hanging spice cupboard in the reddish-brown native oak typical of Montgomeryshire, and of the standard local form but of exceptional and individual quality. The bold cornice is above a single door with an inlaid diamond motif between a pair of arched raised-and-fielded panels, over a rectangualr raised-and-fielded panel, with a base moulding below. The fitted interior has a most unusual shaped surround to the top section, which has a shaped shelf with large holes for bottles, with a shelf below with three compartments, and a further shelf below that. Parts of the interior as well as the backboard are in elm.
(Replaced lower hinge and minor historical repairs).
Wonderful colour and surface patination.
Montgomeryshire, north Wales, circa 1760.
