circa: 1901 width: 20 height: 33 length: 19 This beautiful antique mahogany pot cupboard was hand-crafted in Edwardian England around 1900. Over the years, the wood has developed a lovely patina that enriches the distinct, wispy mahogany grain and lustrous complexion; especially striking are the places where flame mahogany has been used. Solid-brass hardware forms a wonderful contrast to the mahogany, while the ridged, rolling door adds a bit of elegant texture to this antique pot cupboard. Shaped bracket feet provide sturdy support and the antique cupboard itself contains a generous amount of storage space and useful features, such as two interior cabinet sections and a fold-out top that reveals a retractable mirror and another area for storage. We believe that this antique pot cupboard was used as a bedside piece on either a train or ship because of its portability. Condition remains very good, particularly for an Edwardian antique, and the cupboard has sustained no damage beyond a slightly warped shape to the top, mirror spotting and some wear on the interior (see pictures). This Edwardian mahogany pot cupboard will function wonderfully and will continue to grow more beautiful for decades to come, so it would certainly make a wise investment for your furniture collection!
