A stunning small Welsh oak linen press cupboard.
Small linen press or cupboards were often found throughout West Wales; this example is particularly small. It comes in two parts and has a carved and bog-oak & holly inlaid frieze which is above two gothic shaped panelled doors above three small faux drawers. The base as five drawers with oval brass handles.
We have had many similar cupboards in the past – they are very local type and are really only found in Cardiganshire or Carmarthenshire.
This is one of the finest we have owned – its in great condition and has a wonderful rich colour.
Carmarthenshire circa 1800
52” wide x 19½” deep x 55” high / 132 cm wide x 50cm deep x 140cm high
