A charming and beautifully proportioned Queen Anne walnut hall cupboard, dating to circa 1710, and offered in good, well-preserved condition. This elegant piece of early 18th-century English furniture is rich in period character and craftsmanship, making it a rare and desirable find for collectors and decorators alike.
The cupboard is constructed in two sections for ease of movement, with a bold cornice above a pair of striking panelled doors. The door fronts are adorned with a finely executed geometric starburst veneer pattern, showcasing the sophisticated use of walnut veneers typical of the Queen Anne period. The doors open to reveal a spacious interior fitted with two hanging rails, running front to back. With working lock and key.
The upper section sits on a base with a cleverly designed façade—dummy drawers above a single working drawer, allowing generous internal hanging height within the cupboard. This lower drawer is fitted with decorative brass swan-neck handles, complementing the rich warmth of the walnut.
The cupboard stands on well-formed bracket feet and retains its solid oak backboards. The surface has developed a beautifully mellow colour and soft patina over time, enhancing its antique charm without compromising its structural integrity.
This hall cupboard is not only practical but also visually impressive, making it an ideal statement piece in an entrance hall, bedroom, or dressing room. A fine example of English Queen Anne furniture, combining decorative appeal with everyday usability.
