Antique Wall Cupboards

WALL CUPBOARDS
The turner’s art has been slightly neglected in this book. Those extraordinary chairs made almost entirely of turned parts are rather specialised but one does, however, still see wall cupboards which have turning for their main decorative feature.
A fine quality example of a turned wall cupboard. Only the top, bottom, shelf and door supports are not turned. The principal design used in making the spindles is a variant on the baluster form with a ridge cut at the widest point to lighten the appearance. Made in ash, it is unusual in being constructed entirely without a joined frame. A fine collector’s piece which is reflected in the price.
Late 17th century
A small oak spindle wall cupboard. The frame is joined and decorated with simple groove moulding and punch marks of various shapes. The top and bottom are nailed on and the top has extra strip to prevent objects slipping forward. The design of turning is again broadly baluster shaped with three central bobbins. The centre four spindles and a horizontal split of the top and bottom rail form the door. Good patination.
A form of hutch or food cupboard. This form is little removed from a cupboard with the panels removed and spindles substituted. Neither the carving nor the form of the spindles demonstrate any great quality.
The form of hanging cupboard is even more apparent. The spindles, of primitive form, now occupy even less space than in the previous examples. This should not, however, disguise the fact that this is a well-made, beautifully coloured and small example of oak furniture.
