Lot 624: George III Oak Hanging Corner Cupboard
A George III period hanging corner cupboard of provincial English construction, made from solid oak. The single door features a raised-and-fielded central panel, exhibiting prominent medullary rays and quarter-sawn graining that creates a decorative tiger-stripe effect. The door is set within a frame characterised by deep, stepped mouldings to the top and sides and is hung on external hinges. It is fitted with a simple brass keyhole escutcheon and a later-added small circular brass pull knob. The cupboard has a dark, well-patinated finish. A yellow auction house lot sticker with handwritten numbers 624 and 11 is attached to the left-hand moulding.
Condition report:
The cupboard is in a condition consistent with its age and provincial origin, showing a dark patina throughout. There are visible surface marks, minor scuffs, and small knocks, particularly along the lower edges. The brass pull knob is a later replacement. No key is provided.
