A fine quality, large Georgian oak corner cupboard from Brudenell House, Quainton, Bucks, that I'm selling for a friend who used to live there (see provenance below).
All original back boards, some lovely patina and medullary rays to the oak, along with nice moldings and inlay, no key or lock and not original hinges by the looks of it, drawer in excellent condition, lovely typical curved shelves - a really nice honest lived-in piece from a stunning country house.
In nicely-worn condition as to be expected from age and use - some inlay missing, a couple of small patch repairs, could do with a wipe on the inside - see photos for details.
Comes with screws, plates and two batons that were all used to hold it in place.
Any questions, just drop me a message.
(Provenance:
Brudenell House is a large, beautiful Grade II listed country house and was originally built in the sixteenth century and then added to in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Until 1962 it was the church rectory in Quainton. It was then bought by my oldest friend Julian's grandmother (Helena Wright, pioneer of birth control and family planning) and then passed down to her son, Beric, in 1982, when I first met Julian in our early teens.
I lived down the road, so I spent many hours and days at Brudenell House.
After Beric passed away in 2008, the family finally sold Brudenell House in 2011 in order to downsize.
This piece has been in dry storage since then.)
