DESCRIPTION

An attractive 19th century bow front hanging corner cupboard, with richly decorated black Japanned finish in the chinoiserie taste.

The pair of doors are decorated in gilt and coloured pigments with an elaborate landscape of figures, buildings, flowering plants and birds, enclosed within gilt borders. Further gilt decoration continues around the sides and upper edge, while the curved bow front gives the cupboard a particularly elegant profile. The doors open to reveal a fitted shelved interior, providing useful storage while retaining relatively compact proportions.

A highly decorative piece of 19th century furniture, particularly effective against a plain wall and well suited to both traditional and more eclectic interiors.

DIMENSIONS

CONDITION

In good overall antique condition, with minor rubbing, marks and losses to the decorated surface commensurate with age and use. There is a small amount of localised historic woodworm. The cupboard retains its lock, although there is no key.

Overall, it presents well and the age-related wear complements its decorative character.

As an antique or vintage piece, signs of age and use should be expected and are part of its character. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report.

ABOUT ALSO

Thank you for viewing this piece from Also Antique Furniture.

We carefully select antique furniture and decorative objects for their quality, craftsmanship, character and individuality. Our tastes are broad, and we’re happy to be led by the piece rather than a particular period or style. Above all, we choose things we genuinely admire and would be happy to have in our own home.

Every item is individually inspected, researched and professionally photographed, with clear descriptions and honest condition reports to help you buy with confidence.

We believe good furniture should have a long life. Choosing antique keeps well-made furniture and existing materials in use, and we favour sympathetic restoration that preserves the patina and character acquired over generations.

VIEWING

Viewing is welcome by appointment at our premises in North Yorkshire, on the border with Lancashire. If there is anything you would like to know before purchasing, we are always happy to answer questions or provide additional photographs.

DELIVERY & COLLECTION

Collection is welcome by arrangement.

We can usually arrange delivery throughout mainland UK using trusted independent couriers, charged at cost. As a general guide, delivery for an average-sized chest of drawers is typically £80–£100. Larger items and more remote locations will incur higher charges.

Most deliveries are completed within approximately two weeks, although faster delivery may sometimes be available. Please contact us with your postcode for a delivery quotation before purchasing.

AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION

We strive to describe every item as accurately and honestly as possible. Statements regarding age, attribution, origin and provenance are offered in good faith and represent our professional opinion based on the information available at the time of listing.

As all of our items are antique or vintage, signs of age and use should be expected. Old repairs, knocks, wear, variations in colour and other minor imperfections are often part of a piece’s history and character. Where condition affects its integrity, appearance or usefulness, we will endeavour to make this clear in the description.
