This rare and beautiful Victorian solid oak gun cupboard, possibly even earlier, is a stunning piece of history that you don’t see very often. While originally designed for storing firearms, it offers remarkable versatility and can easily be repurposed to suit modern needs.
Key Features:
Design: Crafted from solid oak with beautiful brass hinges, this cupboard showcases timeless craftsmanship and character.
Functionality: With two indentations, it would make an excellent umbrella or walking stick stand for your hallway, adding a quirky yet practical touch to your decor. Alternatively, shelves could be added to transform it into a unique storage unit.
Size: Its slim profile makes it ideal for spaces where floor area is limited, making it highly desirable commercially and domestically.
Condition:
The cupboard is nearly 200 years old and remains fully intact.
Signs of high-quality repairs over the years add to its story and authenticity, without compromising its rock-solid structure. Some panels may not be as rigid as they once were, but this does not affect the cupboard's stability or durability.
A crack is present on the top pane of glass, which adds character to the piece but could be replaced if desired.
This evocative piece has stood the test of time, sparking thoughts of the many hands that have opened its door throughout history. It’s a charming, conversation-starting addition to any home, blending functionality with a rich, storied past.
