Built as a handed pair, one door hinges from the left and the other from the right, allowing them to frame a bedstead or fireplace symmetrically. Each cupboard is surmounted by a moulded rectangular top with prominent natural graining, resting above a sturdy carcase fitted with a single frieze drawer. The drawers are constructed with bevelled frame surrounds and operate smoothly on wooden runners. Both the drawers and cupboard doors retain decorative brass-toned drop handles centred with pale ceramic barrel grips, secured with scalloped backplates. Slender brass butt hinges support the panelled doors, which close flush into the rebated frame. Inside each cupboard, an oak shelf can be positioned at three pre-drilled heights or removed entirely to accommodate taller books, bottles, or night-time essentials. Solid planked backboards with rough-sawn grain lend substantial rigidity and weight to the cabinets, while the plinth base is relieved by a gentle serpentine apron that terminates in shaped bracket feet. Crafted probably in the late twentieth century in the traditional English country style, these compact pieces provide versatile storage and functional surface area. At 40.5 cm wide, 35.5 cm deep, and 71.5 cm high, their modest footprint suits smaller bedrooms as lamp stands or works equally well beside armchairs in a living room or study. The mid-toned oak finish exhibits warm honey undertones that harmonise easily with both period and modern interiors See less
