17th Century Charles II English Cupboard Cabinet

About the Item

This is a circa 1660 Charles II English cupboard. This style was characterized by elaborate carvings and large frames. During Charles II's reign, there was a revival in the art and design of furniture-making, despite the challenges that arose from the Great Fire of London in 1666 and the subsequent plague outbreak. This piece has been excellently crafted and carved entirely from oak. Oak was prized for its durability. It is not uncommon to find Charles II English furniture pieces in excellent condition, even centuries after they were made. Cupboards were popular furniture pieces in the 17th century and were used for the storage of food or linens. The front doors of this cupboard have inset panels with a geometric design of rectangles with linear trim molding around them. Separating the doors is a vertical beaded column molding that adds contrast to the Stark lines of the rectangle designs. By the hinges, there are spherical column moldings that add decoration as well as elongate the look of the cupboard. The two doors swing open to reveal three sturdy shelves and a bottom storage area. Inside the top shelf, you can see that there are original wooden pegs that are meant for hanging items. This historical piece would look great in any room, especially a large bedroom or dining room. Owning a piece of Charles II furniture is a testament to the enduring legacy of British craftsmanship, as well as an opportunity to enjoy the beauty and elegance of furniture from a bygone era.
