DESCRIPTION

A large and impressive William IV plum pudding mahogany corner cupboard dating from the early nineteenth century, circa 1835.

 

Constructed in richly figured plum pudding mahogany, the cupboard is formed in two sections beneath a shaped pediment with elegant scroll cresting. The upper section is enclosed by a pair of moulded panel doors with distinctive floral corner blocks, opening to reveal a shelved interior. The lower section mirrors the design with a further pair of panelled doors enclosing additional shelving, providing an exceptional amount of practical storage.

The beautifully figured veneers, restrained architectural form and generous proportions are characteristic of the William IV period. Standing an impressive 280 cm high, this is a substantial piece that would make a striking addition to a hallway, dining room, library or country house interior.

 

The cupboard retains both working locks together with two keys—one for the upper section and one for the lower.

Height: 280 cm

CONDITION

There are the expected marks, knocks and scratches commensurate with age and use. The cupboard retains an attractive colour and well-figured plum pudding mahogany veneers throughout. There are some losses to the veneers around the plinth, consistent with age and use, but no significant structural issues. Both sets of doors close well and retain their working locks with one key for the upper section and one for the lower. Overall, this is a substantial and well-preserved example that presents very well.
