George III Oak & Mahogany Crossbanded Inlaid Wall-hanging Corner Cupboard, Late 18 Century (Georgian Cabinet)

A fine late 18th-century George III period wall-hanging corner cabinet, dating from around 1780–1790. The cabinet is surmounted by a dentil-detailed moulded cornice above a richly figured mahogany-veneered frieze, inlaid with ebony and boxwood stringing. The single door is framed with mahogany crossbanding around an oak panel door, itself with a further banded inner border and a well-executed shell inlay. The door retains its original brass hinges; the escutcheon may be a later addition. The lock has been replaced with a period correct replacement, and comes with a working key. The interior, painted in an off-white, has three shelves, ideal for display. The cabinet rests on a shallow moulded base. All original timbers, including the backboards. The piece has been through our workshop where it was sensitively cleaned, wax-polished, and serviced, leaving it in excellent ready-to-use condition.
