What is a double height cupboard?

A double height cupboard is a tall floor standing unit featuring two vertical storage sections stacked together. These pieces maximise vertical space in high ceilinged rooms. They often combine upper display shelves behind glass doors with lower enclosed storage. This configuration provides maximum capacity for dining rooms.

How do I identify Georgian timber?

Examine the secondary woods inside drawers and at the back to confirm period authenticity. Hand cut dovetails and timber shrinkage offer reliable clues to age.
