About the Item

This is a circa 1660 Charles II English cupboard. This style was characterized by elaborate carvings and large frames. During Charles II's reign, there was a revival in the art and design of furniture-making, despite the challenges that arose from the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the subsequent plague outbreak. This piece has been excellently crafted and carved entirely from oak. Oak was prized for its durability. It is not uncommon to find Charles II English furniture pieces in excellent condition, even centuries after they were made. Cupboards were popular furniture pieces in the 17th century and were used for the storage of food or linens. The front doors of this cupboard have inset panels with a geometric design of rectangles with linear trim molding around them. Separating the doors is a vertical beaded column molding that adds contrast to the Stark lines of the rectangle designs. By the hinges, there are spherical column moldings that add decoration as well as elongate the look of the cupboard. The two doors swing open to reveal three sturdy shelves and a bottom storage area. Inside the top shelf, you can see that there are original wooden pegs that are meant for hanging items. This historical piece would look great in any room, especially a large bedroom or dining room. Owning a piece of Charles II furniture is a testament to the enduring legacy of British craftsmanship, as well as an opportunity to enjoy the beauty and elegance of furniture from a bygone era.

Early George III Mahogany Serpentine Bachelor s Chest With Brushing Slide

Located in Chicago, IL

The George III design, named after the English monarch, is characterized by clean lines and high-quality wood. This Circa 1760 chest is crafted entirely from mahogany, featuring three graduated drawers lined with white pine. The drawer fronts are veneered in flame mahogany and adorned with their original brass handles. Many craftsmen favored mahogany for its durability and rich coloring. Given the expense of procuring mahogany, items made from this wood were typically intended for affluent buyers. Petite chests like this one often include a discreet brushing slide at the top, which pulls out with a small brass knob to reveal a surface for laying out clothes to be brushed before wearing. These gentleman’s chests, introduced as 'dressing chests,' are the historical precursors to ‘bachelor’s chests.’ Additional features include vertical side trim with swirling vine motifs and acanthus leaves emerging from carved canted corners, as well as bracket feet. Overall, this is a stunning chest that fits seamlessly into any room and serves multiple purposes: as a bedroom dresser, bathroom or hallway commode, or dining room...
