Condition report: 

The cupboard is 42.5cm deep. 

Probably dates from the late 17th Century with a number of later parts including the backboards, bottom board, plinth and other elements. 

The horizontal section across the top of the right side door is later pegged and rail is later, the other side with loss to the left door, top left corner.  

Various other later repairs - please see additional images on www.bellmans.co.uk, including a repair below the hinge on the right side of the door, filler to some of the losses. Both doors with a four nails in a square configuration to the centre. 

The cupboard is probably a housekeeper’s example, estate made. 

Lacking any shelves but with later support bars added to the sides. 

Otherwise, scuffs, chips, small losses, shrinkage and movement to timber commensurate with use and age.  A few water marks to the top.
