In proportion and has the style of school cupboards of the Victorian era
Modern paints and scumbles have been removed to leave early 20th century paints. The cupboard has sat by heat, likely a fire, leaving a crackled effect which penetrated through each layer of paint and in turn, binding various layers together. This created a unique challenge when stripping
Internally, multiple shelving systems create good storage space. Finished in a mid 20th century blue paint
The cupboard is from the later part of the century with adaptions and repairs made throughout its life. Primarily original timber and hardware still present
The most probable original use would have been a form of wardrobe, likely painted. Its current use of a shelved interior is most practical in todays home

This cupboard is unique for one particular reason. Whilst in a farmhouse pantry, the resident mouse, let’s call him Jerry, decided to take up residence. An open doorway in the lower region of its frontage and a familiar scene at the rear.
Unfortunately, due to rent arrears, Jerry was evicted
An English piece and dates to the turn of the 20th century. It sat in a church in South Essex

Large and well proportioned in stature. The dresser top itself is decorative and internally finished in a later blue paint. The dresser base comprises of three healthily sized cupboards, all sitting on Georgian inspired bracket feet
Throughout the years, some adaptions have been made on the rear quarters and where the dresser top sits. However, there appears to be no clear or obvious reason as to why they were made!

You could say over designed. From the top, a multi layered cornice followed by a panelled door, flanked by a pair of coordinating panels. Internally, a pair of tongue and grooved shelves aid ease of storage. A healthy sized beaded drawer sits in a protrusive lower section beneath the main cupboard, giving an authoritarian standing
Classic farmhouse aesthetic. A pair of drawers over a cupboard with a full width shelved interior. A slightly oversized top adds visual interest whilst white ceramic knobs soften the image of the piece as a whole
The cupboard has likely sat by a window, sun gazing for many years. This in turn lightens the colour of the timber, giving an almost naturally occurring bleached effect
