A Charles I joined oak court cupboard, Dorset/Somerset, circa 1640


The frieze carved with paired leafy S-scrolls and raised on bulbous-turned end supports carved with leaf-filled lunettes over palmettes, enclosing a canted cupboard, with a central foliate carved panelled door flanked by similar carved fixed panels, above an applied cushioned and gadrooned-carved rail, over a large panelled door, carved with an interlaced lozenge and quatrefoil design, flanked by a fixed panel carved with two similar motifs and centred by an unusually broad lozenge-carved rail - thus reading as two panels - the single panelled sides carved with a large lozenge, on extended stile supports 135cm wide x 51cm deep x 135.5cm high, (53in wide x 20in deep x 53in high)
