This is a very rare, English Baroque Gothic Cupboard. It is made of Oak and has a rich, deep oak patina.
We purchased the Display Cabinet / Cupboard in Oxford, England.
The Cupboard has a spectacular design. The carving is incredible and has a distinct ecclesiastic influence. It is in very good condition.
The top of the Cupboard has a deeply pronounced, highly carved Cornice.
The Cupboard is rectangular with canted corners. At the center is a profusely carved, Door.
The Door depicts the Bust of a Knight with an Angel carved above. They are surrounded by intricately carved, Foliate Scroll Work flanked by Dolphin Carvings.
This Dolphin Motif is repeated in the Fixed Canted Panels which flank the Door, on the Drawer below and the Fixed Panels which flank it. Each is surrounded by lovely Foliate Scroll Work.
The Door opens to reveal a roomy interior. It has an incredibly intricate, gorgeous, very old Skeleton Key and Lock. This suggests that the contents originally stored here must have been quite important.
The Lock and Skeleton Key are hand tooled and beautifully made.
The Drawer below scallops delightfully along the bottom. It is a master piece of craftsmanship with both rear and back Dove-Tailed Joints. From underneath the Drawer is hand chamfered. This is another indication of the very advanced age of this piece.
The Canted Fixed Panels flanking the Drawer also scallop beautifully along the bottom.
The Side Panels are carved with a gorgeous Scrolling Vine Pattern.
The Canted Panels are flanked and divided by spectacularly turned, Barley Twist Columns at the rear and Finials carved into the Busts of Woman. The design is quite opulent!
The Rectangular Canted Base creates a spectacular Display Shelf.
The Paneled Rear of the Display Area is very finely crafted. Gothic Diamond Form Moulding embellishes the Twin Sunken Panels.
The Cabinet is supported upon Six Shaped Stile Feet.
This is a very rare, English Baroque Gothic Cupboard. It would look fabulous in a Gentleman's Study. It has detailed carpentry and incredible metal work executed upon it's Lock, indicating a fine cabinet maker
If you are a collector of very rare pieces of antique furniture, you will truly appreciate the beauty of this exquisite piece. It will add a refined Baroque elegance to any room in which it is placed.
