Victorian pine housemaid’s glazed cupboard – sold
A lovely original Victorian pine housemaid’s glazed cupboard, retaining its lovely natural character and finished in a traditional waxed pine.
A particularly attractive piece with plenty of storage, combining a pair of glazed centre doors with shelving behind, flanked by two useful panelled cupboards. Below is a generous bank of six drawers, giving you plenty of room for all those bits and pieces.
We particularly like the original detailing, the shaped panelled doors, rounded mouldings and those lovely glass handles which finish it off beautifully. Standing on its original turned feet, it has a lovely solid presence without losing its charm.
Housemaids’ cupboards were traditionally found in larger Victorian homes, providing practical storage for household linen, crockery, provisions and all manner of everyday essentials. They were very much working pieces of furniture, designed to offer a great deal of storage in one place.
Today it would make a wonderful kitchen dresser, dining room cupboard, or equally lovely storage in a country home.
A lovely honest piece of original Victorian pine furniture with plenty of character.
