England. Circa 1870.

​

English cabinetmakers worked extensively with pine and this corner cupboard is a fine example of the kind of the excellence of their craft. Its arched barrel back and raised panel doors give it a certain formal appearance, transcending the medium in which it was created. Deeply scalloped shelves also contribute to the formal lines of this cupboard, which has chamfered sides and sits on a molded plinth base.
