Authentic 19th-century jelly cupboard retaining its original layered green and ochre paint with extensive, honest wear throughout. The surface shows rich patina, paint loss, and age consistent with over a century of use, giving the piece strong character and visual depth.

The cupboard features two glazed doors with arched muntins, opening to reveal a dark, naturally aged wood interior with three fixed shelves. The glass panes show subtle irregularity typical of period glass. Raised on turned legs with a molded base and cornice, the proportions are compact yet substantial.

Well suited for use as a jelly cupboard, display cabinet, or pantry storage, this piece works equally well in traditional, folk, or layered contemporary interiors. Structurally sound and visually compelling, with no attempt made to over-restore.
