Antique English Oak Baker's Cupboard or Back Hall Coat Closet c1700-40 Original

About the Item

Antique English Oak Baker’s Cupboard with two moulded panel doors from the early 1700’s and appears to be completely unrestored and unbelievably does not require restoration. The last owner used the Antique English Baker’s Cupboard as a Hall Coat Closet, note the wood hooks inside. Our initial thought for our Antique English Cupboard was to attach the center panel to either door and allow it to bi-fold. In making this Antique Cupboard a perfect way to hide that big ugly TV mounted to your wall. Call it adaptive reuse if you choose, for architects describe it as; “a way to breathe new life into empty historic structures”. Maybe it's a bit of a stretch, however when considering the charm, character and warmth that this 300-year-old Cupboard brings to a room is hard it becomes hard to argue with. Our Old Plank in house restoration department is available to construct shelves, or make any modifications you might consider making. When an Antique Armoire, Cabinet or Baker’s Cupboard is 300-years-old, they typically take on a patination that is virtually impossible to duplicate and this 300-year-old English Oak Cupboard, Coat Closet or Armoire just oozes with patina.

Antique French Deux Corp 'Cupboard' in Original Finish from Chateau Unrestored
Located in Chicago, IL
This extremely rare, Antique French Cupboard, is from the Château de Loyat in Brittany, which I believe dates back to the 1500, was in a condition, that Antique dealers can only dream of. The French Cupboard or Cabinet, is exactly what you would expect, a 300-year-old antique French Cabinet to look like, if no one ever touched the finish, let alone restore the Antique Cupboard. Our opinion is, that this Antique French Cupboard or Cabinet, could have been made in the late 1600s or early 1700s and if I did not know that this Cupboard was made from French White Oak, one would have thought it was constructed of iron, based on its weight. Our centuries old French Cupboard, was constructed without the use of any nails or glue, for the entire Antique Cabinet was assembled using wooden pegs. Our Old Plank restoration department, has just completed a 240-hour conservation procedure, wherein lieu of just replacing the old worn wood oak boards, we chose to harden them and only used small fillets of antique French Oak for repair. Yes, this became a labor of love, but for us, to find an antique French Cabinet, in this virgin untouched state, is quite rare nowadays, so, the choice was made to conserve, rather than restore, which required triple the labor.
