Item Details

A superb and generously proportioned 19th century stripped pine housekeeper’s cupboard of exceptional character and originality. Unusually designed with one elegant canted end and the opposing side made to sit neatly against a wall, this is a wonderfully practical yet highly decorative piece.


The cupboard separates into two sections for ease of transportation and installation. Both the upper and lower cupboards retain their attractive panelled doors, echoed on the beautifully shaped canted end, showcasing traditional craftsmanship throughout. A smart decorative pelmet crowns the upper section, adding further architectural interest and presence.


The stripped pine has mellowed to a remarkable limed patina, producing the most desirable soft colour and depth of tone, enhancing the natural grain and giving the piece a warm, timeless appeal.


Internally, the upper and lower sections together provide five generous shelves, offering excellent storage capacity. The upper cupboard retains its working lock and key, while the lower left door is secured with a traditional door bolt.


Raised on charming bun feet, this rare cupboard survives in wonderfully original condition, with only minimal losses commensurate with age. A striking and highly functional piece, perfect for a country house, kitchen, or period interior.
