Are most of these corner cupboards?

Yes. The word "corner" appears in 284 of 406 titles, and 203 say "corner cupboard" outright, with a further group describing the same triangular-backed form as a corner cabinet. The plain flat-wall hanging cupboard is the minority report, though a real one: wall cupboards, spice cupboards, key cupboards and cloakroom or bathroom cabinets all turn up steadily.

What wood are they usually made from?

Oak leads, in 209 titles, with mahogany in 105. Between them they account for three quarters of the category. Walnut, pine, elm and ash appear in single figures. Cedar, satinwood, fruitwood and burr elm surface only once or twice across the whole archive.

Why do so many say Georgian rather than a year?

Because the dealers' date field here runs on period words. Georgian accounts for 127 entries, 18th Century 87, 19th Century 49, and only 75 of 406 listings carry a clean year at all. Read "Georgian" and "18th Century" as bands rather than determinations. A few entries sit oddly against their own titles, which is the shorthand showing.

How old is the oldest end of the range?

Seventeenth-century examples are the scarce end, with seven listings dated to that century. Among them are a Charles II oak mural livery cupboard and a Welsh wall-hanging cupboard put at about 1700. One title records a date carved on the piece itself, 1763. That is as close as the archive comes to a dated example.

Do bow-fronted ones differ from flat-fronted?

Bow fronts are the main variant within the category, in 49 titles, and they lean towards mahogany rather than oak. The flat or panelled door is the default, particularly on the country-made oak pieces. Glazed and astragal-glazed doors appear as a smaller alternative.

Which regions get named in the titles?

Welsh is the most frequent, 22 times, and in a few cases narrows to a county, with Montgomeryshire and Cardiganshire each appearing once. Westmoreland, North Country, West Country and Whitehaven show up in individual titles. Beyond the place-name itself, the listings don't set out what marks one region from another.

A small cupboard made to hang on a wall rather than stand on the floor, usually triangular at the back so it fits across the angle of a room and keeps china, spices or stores off the ground.
