19th Century Panelled pine housekeepers cupboard. Great architectural details and exceptionally good quality.

From a country house in Scotland and fresh to the market.

Panelled back. Panelled on the inside of the column ends. Panels all follow through in an orderly and calming fashion.

Original shelves on the right hand column (all meticulously cleated with through tenons.). Hanging space on the left.

Generally in very good order. There’s been some worm in the plinth boards. But are all original.

Pot handles on doors, turned ebony handles on drawers.

And biggest shout of all to @sonjabyrom who found the building in the first instance, rolled up her sleeves and forced it all to happen! X by @societique
