Description:
This is an early antique English 17th century solid oak inlaid cupboard on stand, circa 1650 – 1700 and later, with original carvings, in excellent condition. The cupboard on stand is constructed with a twin-plank cross banded moulded oak top and features panelled solid oak sides. The cupboard on stand boasts a primitive carved design, comprising a narrow-recessed central panel, incorporating Corinthian carved columns above a carved guilloche arch, flanked by two large recessed arcadian door panels, incorporating a repeating design on a larger scale. The doors and upper section are decorated with chequered ebony and boxwood inlay. This inlay decoration is also repeated on the stand below. The two large doors open to reveal a spacious internal storage space, with a shelf. The doors retain the original iron butterfly hinges. The cupboard on stand is raised on an oak stand, which has been constructed with later Victorian elements. The stand features a moulded frieze, on four sturdy barley twist legs, united by a solid oak pot-board on turned feet. The cupboard on stand dismantles into two sections (see photos), allowing for easy transportation and access into the home. This is a heavy piece of furniture, which is indicative of its age.
The cupboard on stand boasts a rich deep oxblood oak colour, with a wonderful grain configuration to the front and sides. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
This cupboard on stand on stand would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the hallway or dining room. It would certainly grace any home. So, don’t miss out on your chance to own a lovely piece of furniture.

If you live in one of the areas where we do not offer free delivery, please contact us for a delivery quote before purchasing the item. Delivery will be made by our specialised antique furniture delivery service, or in some cases we will use a courier service for distant deliveries.
Delivery times are usually 1-4 weeks depending on location; we aim to deliver the majority of items within 2 weeks. All items are professionally packaged and fully insured in transit; therefore, we can assure you, your items will be securely protected in transit and arrive safely with you.
Once you have purchased an item, we will contact you by email and/or telephone and provide you with a provisional delivery date, in order for you to confirm if it is suitable for you. Once you have confirmed you can accept delivery on the provisional delivery date, we will book the delivery in with our shippers and it then becomes a confirmed delivery date.
We will also provide you with our shippers’ contact details, in case you need to contact the driver on the day of delivery. It’s helpful if you can provide us with both the landline and mobile telephone number, in case the driver cannot reach you on one of the numbers on the day of delivery, they can contact you on your alternative number.
In order to be able to offer you free delivery, it is based on a 1-man delivery only. For any large items that require 2 people to lift the item, we ask that you are available at the time of delivery to be able to give our shipper a lift off the van and into your house with the item. If you are not able to lift items yourself, we ask that you have someone on hand at the time of delivery to assist our shipper with lifting the item.
