AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
title:
Large 18th Century Oak Cupboard / Cabinet – Northern Europe, circa 1750–1780
description:
Impressive and authentic 18th-century solid oak cupboard, originating from Northern Europe (likely Dutch or German region), dated approximately circa 1750–1780.
The cabinet is constructed from solid oak throughout, including the back panels, which consist of wide, vertically mounted hand-sawn planks, a clear indicator of early manufacture. The piece is built in two separate sections, typical for large cupboards of the 18th century, allowing easier transport.
The front features four-paneled doors with recessed field panels and finely worked linear carving. The proportions, architectural cornice, and molded base correspond to late Baroque / early transitional style, characteristic of mid-18th-century furniture.
Original or period-correct forged iron fittings, hinges, and escutcheons are present. One original key with tassel is included. The cabinet stands on block feet, showing strong wear consistent with age.
Signs of age and authenticity include:
Hand-cut joinery
Uneven tool marks
Natural patina
Shrinkage cracks consistent with age.
Oxidation of iron hardware
No signs of modern machine production.
