Finally complete this is my personal version of a livery cupboard which dates to around 1650. The timber used to create this piece is English Oak and dates to around 1630 and was acquired from a house undergoing renovations.
I decided from the start that i wanted to included some draws in the construction these would maybe have been used for holding spices or expensive ingredients for that period. The inside of the cupboard has been hand painted in a yellow orhre paint which also would have been accurate for that period.
Solid brass butterfly hinges hold the front doors in place and the whole piece is held together with wooden dowels the cupboard door knobs are individually hand carved from the same timber. This piece of work like all of my others is unique in that another will not be made in the same design.
Its been a great piece to make and i have enjoyed sharing the development of the piece with everyone.
I would also like to welcome all of my new followers, i was a little surprised to say the least when i saw how many i now have, many thanks for taking the time to view my blog and follow my work.
