This is a lovely antique oak corner cupboard. With its raised panel door style it is believed to be Georgian but cannot be guaranteed to be precisely from that time. The old oak has darkened and been waxed over many years, giving it a warm and inviting finish.

It is not perfect as the main door panel has a split, probably due to the panel binding at one time in the door frame. This split has an antique repair with wooden strips bracing the back of the door. One of these was done with what look like hand made nails, the tips of which can be just seen on the front of the door but perhaps due to their old patina, are barely noticeable and look in keeping with the piece. I did not notice these for many years until I checked thoroughly for this listing on. It is solid and strong.

It features three shelves. It looks like there was a fourth, top shelf once. It has two highly decorative brass hinges. There is a key for a a lock with a decorative brass escutcheon.

Measuring 42 inches in height and 24.5 inches in width (28 inches for top molding), this wall-mounted cupboard is an original piece and is thought to have been manufactured in the early to mid-1800s. Its depth from front to back corner is 12.5 inches, and it has hinges on the right-hand side. This antique corner cupboard is a fantastic example of Georgian style and because of / despite the ancient repairs is sure to be a talking point in any home.
