SN 1177 Food Cupboard
£7,500
English Oak Food Cupboard, circa 1640, probably from the Eastern Counties. The two door panels, canted top and side panels, are all pierced in an attractive interlaced lozenge design. It would have been hung up on a wall as evidenced by the cut outs at the base for support struts to rest on, together with the blacksmith wrought iron fixing rings to either side of the top. There is a group of this style of food cupboards, and one is illustrated in the V & A “Catalogue of English furniture and Woodwork, Volume 2, Tudor and Early Stuart” by H Clifford Smith, published in 1930. (See Catalogue No 604, Page 25, and Plate 30). There are minor conservation and restoration repairs.
