What is a Jacobean cupboard?
A Jacobean cupboard is a court cupboard created during the Jacobean era between 1603-49. The Jacobean style is similar to the Elizabethan era that preceded it with sturdy, massive furniture that showcases perpendicular designs. The Jacobean cupboard features ornate carvings and was used to display plates and other cups, similar to a buffet. Find a selection of antique Jacobean cupboards on 1stDibs.
