DESCRIPTION
A charming 19th-century pine wall-mounted cupboard with open shelves, retaining an attractive warm colour and wonderfully simple country-house character. Compact yet practical, it would work particularly well as kitchen or pantry storage, a bathroom cupboard, or as a decorative display piece.
The upper section comprises two graduated open shelves supported by ring-turned uprights and surmounted by turned finials. Below is a useful enclosed cupboard with a pair of panelled doors, all constructed in pine. A particularly appealing piece of vernacular storage furniture with a simple, understated appearance that would suit both period and contemporary interiors.
DIMENSIONS
Height: 83 cm Width: 63 cm Depth: 21.5 cm
CONDITION
The shelves are in good, solid antique condition with attractive colour and surface character.
There are marks, knocks, scratches and general wear commensurate with age and use, together with traces of old paint in places. The cupboard interior shows historic staining and wear. The internal shelf is absent, although the original grooves for supporting a shelf remain, making it straightforward for a replacement to be fitted if desired.
The doors and shelving remain sound and the age-related wear gives the piece an appealing, authentic country-house character.
