An excellent and small Welsh ‘Cwpwrdd Bara Caws’ – ‘Bread & Cheese cupboard’  It’s made from oak and pine with mahogany and boxwood cross-banding, with a wonderful rich colour. It has a very unusual feature – the lower shelf in the top section is made from a solid piece of Welsh slate! I’ve not come across this before. Slate was used in built-larders to keep dairy produce fresh, but to find it in a piece of furniture is rare.

Wonderful rich colour.

North West Wales circa 1820.

43” wide 18½” deep x 75¾” high / 110cm wide x 47cm deep x 200cm high
