Wonderful 16th-century oak court cupboard, very original condition and colour.
Please take a look at the pictures and you will see the quality of this lovely piece of north English probably North Yorkshire or Northumberland. Circa 1580/1600.
Please ask any questions you may have.
From my research, it was in a Scottish castle that was demolished in the 1950s.
It was sold by auction in the 1950s and remained in the same family for many years before coming to auction again in the early 2000s.
Made from English oak, the tree would be about 300 years old when downed to make furniture, meaning the wood is about 800 years old.
This is a very heavy and strong piece of furniture.
6 feet 2 inches wide.
5 feet 8 inches tall.
2 feet deep.
