{"product_id":"vintage-pine-glazed-kitchen-cupboard-0310o","title":"Vintage Pine Glazed Kitchen Cupboard 0310o","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully characterful early 20th-century pine cupboard, combining a tall glazed upper section with a deeper enclosed cupboard below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet has a beautifully simple, utilitarian quality, with its restrained construction and lack of unnecessary decoration giving it a particularly appealing vernacular feel. The pine has developed a lovely pale, mellow appearance through age, with natural variations in colour, grain, old marks and wear throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper section is unusually shallow, with a pair of glazed doors opening to reveal four fixed shelves. At just 22cm deep overall, this part of the cabinet has an elegant, almost architectural quality and provides useful display storage without making the piece feel imposing. A simple moulded cornice finishes the cabinet above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow, the deeper base projects forward and is enclosed by a pair of solid panelled doors. Inside is a removable shelf, allowing the lower cupboard to accommodate larger items when required. Simple wooden block handles, a shaped lower apron and small details to the construction add to its understated charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe believe the cupboard dates from the early decades of the 20th century and was most likely intended for domestic storage, perhaps in a kitchen or housekeeper's pantry. Its exact original purpose is unknown, however, and we rather like the honesty of leaving its history open rather than giving it an overly specific attribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday it would make an exceptionally useful piece of storage. Its narrow upper section is ideal for displaying ceramics, glassware or favourite objects, while the deeper cupboard below provides concealed storage. Equally at home in a kitchen or dining room, it would also make a lovely linen or bathroom cupboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet retains the knocks, marks, tonal variation and surface wear accumulated through many decades of use. We have deliberately retained this character rather than attempting to make the pine appear new or overly restored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall:\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 78cm\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 22cm upper \/ 40cm lower\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 183cm  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGlazed upper cabinet – internal:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 72cm\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 18cm\u003cbr\u003eShelf spacing: 25.5cm \/ 21.5cm \/ 19.5cm \/ 24.5cm  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLower cupboard – internal:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 71cm\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 35cm\u003cbr\u003eHeight above removable shelf: 27cm\u003cbr\u003eHeight below removable shelf: 30cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56960810156418,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0228\/1503\/files\/vintage_rustic_pine_housekeepers_cupboard_pantry.6.jpg?v=1791057729","url":"https:\/\/www.mustardvintage.com\/products\/vintage-pine-glazed-kitchen-cupboard-0310o","provider":"Mustard Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
