Yolanda Gray Antiques has dated this piece to the 1800s.
The bow front doors are constructed with best quality timbers – plum pudding mahogany, which is identifiable by the “raisin” like swirls in the grain. It is rare to see furniture constructed with plum pudding mahogany and it is a certain sign of quality. The Georgian corner cupboard doors retain their original brass “H” hinges and “eagle” shaped key escutcheons. The right-hand door retains the original steel working lock (with working key). The inside of the door retains the original steel latch and hook, which locks the left-hand door.
The doors open to reveal an original painted interior, comprising three bow fronted shelves, useful for storing glasses or other items. Three delightful bow front drawers can be found below; the two left-hand drawers pull out and have been constructed with oak drawer linings and delicate hand-dovetailed joints. The right-hand drawer is hinged and acts as a miniature cupboard. These drawers retain the original brass decorative knobs. The corner Georgian corner cupboard retains its original solid backboards and four metal brackets on the back to enable the cupboard to be screwed to the wall. The Georgian wall hanging cabinet terminates on its original segmented moulded plinth.
The Georgian bow front corner cabinet boasts a stunning rich dark mahogany colour, having been wax-polished in our workshop to a professional standard, along with the years of care and cleaning it has received.
