About the Item

We haven’t seen one of these lovely Louis-Philippe style bases in a quite a while. Originally used as a dry sink, the serpentine lid lifts on iron hinges to expose the well where a bowl would stand when in use. Beneath the well is a shallow hand-cut dovetailed drawer with a divided interior. Beneath that a paneled door on a pivot hinge opens to a single shelf on the interior. The front corners of the case are chamfered and Louis-Philippe corbels are mounted at the top and feet in the same style at the floor. A strip of beading is placed between them. This could be a vanity piece for a child’s or guest bathroom and it is not too tall for use as a nighstand. Hand-polished to a warm honey glow.

Antique Early 19th C. American Maple And Pine Corner Cabinet
Located in New Orleans, LA
Antique early 19th century American pine and maple Corner Cupboard, c 1810. Made of pine and maple, featuring triangular form with stunning original glazed wavy glass doors, three drawers and wood doors below This cupboard has pale pink old milk painted interior shelves. The glass features waves and bubbles consistent with age and was completely hand made with wooden pegs. Ever wonder how large, tall pieces of furniture were moved in and out of the small doorways in 18th-19th century homes? Beginning about 1740, corner cupboards were very popular storage pieces. Some were built into the room by carpenters so they never had to be moved. Instead of a rectangular piece of furniture, the corner piece was triangular in the back so it fit into a corner with no wasted space. Through the years, many of these built-ins have been removed and given new backs. Most old corner cupboards were made by a cabinetmaker to be moved from house to house. The top section usually had glass cabinet doors covering several shelves. The silver or dishes inside were arranged to be admired. The bottom section had two wooden cabinet doors...
