Where should I place a corner unit?

These cabinets fit directly into ninety-degree room junctions, making use of space that standard rectangular furniture leaves empty. Floor-standing versions anchor a corner, while wall-hanging models sit comfortably above tables or seating.

How do I date a corner cupboard?

Examine the timber, hardware, and construction methods used in the carcass and shelves. Georgian and eighteenth-century pieces often feature heavier oak framing, whereas Edwardian cabinets frequently display mahogany with delicate satinwood inlay. Glass types and door framing styles also provide clear chronological indicators.

Are these units one piece or two?

The selection includes both single-piece wall-hanging cabinets and taller floor-standing furniture built in two separate sections. Two-part forms feature an upper display cabinet that lifts off the lower cupboard base for easier transport.

What is an astragal glazed door?
