Antique English Corner Cupboards - walnut cross banded glazed-door corner cupboard - walnut bow-fronted corner cupboard - oak corner cupboard of 18th Century with panelled doors - 18th century mahogany bow-fronted corner cupboard with fluted pilasters - 18th century mahogany corner cupboard - country corner cupboard -  corner cupboard with with three drawers

Although antique corner cupboards were made throughout the 17th century they do not seem to have come into more general use until the end of it. From then until about 1750 corner cupboards were made in the prevailing taste for town use, but subsequently they seem to have retired to the country as far as manufacture is concerned. For this reason perhaps, the majority of hanging corner cupboards found in shops nowadays are of later 18th century date and often made of oak, with mahogany cross banding or decoration. Inlaid shells and paterae are also frequently found in these later pieces.
It is almost certain that bow-fronted corner cupboards fetch more in price than flat ones; generally due to their greater elegance; as a general form however the corner cupboard is not over-popular and has not
appreciated in value as much as more utilitarian pieces in the everyday sense such as chairs, chests, dining tables and bureaux. The pine open corner cupboards of Essex type have had something of a vogue and can
generally be put to more decorative use than the closed hanging type.

A walnut cross banded glazed-door corner cupboard of c. 1725 with broken pediment. It has been suggested that such cupboards became popular at the time to store and display the expensive tea sets then in vogue.
The figure of the walnut veneers is elegantly matched and the moulding on the cornice is cross-grained.

An oak corner cupboard of c. 1740 with panelled doors banded in mahogany. Cupboards of this style, often as a low stand were made from the beginning of the century onwards but the dentillated top cornice and mahogany decoration indicate the date mentioned. Rather a large form of corner cupboard generally.

A small mid 18th century oak corner cupboard with the door having a fielded panel inlaid with a star decoration in boxwood and ebony. This latter decoration is found on other furniture of the second quarter of the 18th century and continued in country use until later. Beware however of ‘improvers’ who inlaid the pattern at a later date.

A late 18th century oak corner cupboard with a panelled door with three drawers below. Beneath the bold top cornice moulding there is a band of mahogany veneer.

ENGLISH CORNER CUPBOARDS
About 1690-1800
Mahogany corner cabinet with swan- neck cresting, chamfered sides and typical brass H-hinges
Thought to have been introduced from Holland, coinciding with the fashion for painted pine-panelled rooms, corner cupboards were used to store and display fine china, silver or other valuables in the drawing-room, Some could be hanging, above dado level, others are of double height. They generally disappeared from main reception rooms around 1750 (when the fashion for wallpaper replaced panelling) but were still made for other rooms and for country parlours until the end of the century, and have been popular reproduction pieces ever since.
STYLE AND APPEARANCE
Considerable variation throughout the century. Can be:
Simple mahogany bow-fronted corner (cupboard.
Hanging, with bow front: Mostly in japanned pine or walnut veneer. A pair of doors, their curve continuing on the side framing. Simple moulding above and below. Doors generally rebate together (to form continuous smooth curve) but sometimes narrow moulding conceals join.
Hanging, with flat front: Usually a single panelled door with chamfered framing at sides (this sometimes decorated with fluting or carved columns). Simple base, but bolder cor-
MATERIALS
Walnut and mahogany veneer on a pine (occasionally oak) base. Pine if painted or japanned. Country versions mostly in solid oak.
CONSTRUCTION

nice; moulding, sometimes with frieze below. Occasionally a broken pediment. Door can have a shaped, and on country versions, fielded, panel, sometimes glazed, with or without glazing bars. Earliest versions evidently had a panel of mirror glass, seldom still in place.
Double-height: Mainly straight-fronted; occasionally bow-fronted. Initially made to match (and sometimes actually fitted into) wall panelling, with a join at dado level. Many therefore made of pine (once painted, now often stripped and waxed) with two panelled doors below, and two glazed or even open shelves above. The most desirable have a rounded barrel back, the half-domed top occasionally carved as a shell. The grandest have architectural mouldings (often with doors forming an arch bordered by broad carved pilasters).
Continuous plinth or bracket feet; the plainest (oak) country versions have plinth or stile feet.
Later veneered versions have bracket or, after 1780, ’swept’ feet, below plain, panelled base door(s). Upper door(s) panelled or glazed, the latter with decorative arrangements of glazing bars. Bolder, deeper moulded cornice than hanging types, sometimes frieze too. (If seen on a single hanging cupboard, this probably indicates there was once a base.)
On all types, interior shelves are nearly always curved and shaped. Both they and the backboards were fashionably painted, mostly blue or green, sometimes red or yellow.
LATER REPRODUCTIONS
This type of corner cabinet was popularly reproduced by the Edwardians, often with a dentil frieze (a feature of only some 18thC examples) on top of a glazed cabinet, and rather bright, yellow inlay or green-stained stringing, fans and conch shells. Also widely reproduced today –often veneered in yew or cheap mahogany – but frequently too narrow overall, with a tall, lower cupboard.
Framed construction with glued mortise-andtenon joints. Mitred joints and veneer on better quality. Many veneered all over. Tops rough, but under-side of hanging cabinets finished. Always locks, but generally no (or very simple wooden) catches. Invariably backed with unfinished planking.
Curved doors on bow fronts coopered (i.e. large number of verticals cut at slight angle and glued (or grooved and glued) together before being planed to a smooth surface.
Cornice and base mouldings similarly constructed.
Watch for marriages on double-height pieces; check for matching colour and grain of timber (both back and front); also for shape of interior shelves and matching lockplates and escutcheons. Blind doors may now be glued.
DECORATION
Principally figuring of timber. Occasionally simple inlay and stringing in late 18thC (and on Edwardian reproductions). Mahogany cross-banding and occasionally inlay (often star shapes) on country-made oak pieces.
japanning popular for early pieces, with chinoiserie decoration on a mainly black ground.
Hinges: Exterior H- or butterfly hinges until about 1760 (later on country versions). Decorative lock escutcheons.
FINISH
Varnish, followed by wax polish. japanning, paint (many now stripped and waxed).
RELATIVE VALUES
Popular, but seldom immensely valuable, items. Many hanging cupboards (especially country versions) priced in three figures. Good walnut veneer, a broken pediment or fine inlay will increase value considerably.
japanned examples –even when early – may seem surprisingly cheap unless in red, blue or yellow (cream) rather than the normal black. These are rare and may fetch five-figures.
Double-height cupboards are approximately double the value, but much more if early and architectural with a barrel back.
