Large William IV Plum Pudding Mahogany Corner Cupboard c.1835 with Keys
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.
 
DIMENSIONS
Height: 280 cm
Width: 130 cm
Depth: 75 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.

    Thank you for viewing this piece from ALSO Antiques.

     

    We carefully select antique furniture and decorative objects for their quality, craftsmanship, character and individuality.

    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.
