Bedside cupboards, or pot cupboards as they are sometimes known, are among the most practical and versatile forms of 18th century antique furniture.

Surviving examples dating from the Chippendale period are much rarer than their later Georgian and Victorian counterparts, particularly when they retain such elegant proportions and detailing as this one. The shaped gallery is both decorative and practical, whilst the mahogany timber has developed a wonderfully rich colour and surface over the 200 plus years of its existence.

A great example of its type it remains in very good original condition with a desirable colour and surface, indeed it has clearly been well loved and looked after throughout its lifetime.

Wonderfully versatile, this piece is equally at home serving its original purpose as a bedside cupboard or as a compact lamp table, side table or occasional table elsewhere in the home. Its understated elegance allows it to complement both period and contemporary interiors with ease.

As with all items which we offer for sale, this Georgian bedside cupboard has been inspected in our workshops by our highly skilled, traditional antique furniture restorers and is ready to be placed into the home immediately.
