A beautiful English hanging corner cupboard dating from the late 18th century, retaining its original hand painted decoration. The exterior is finished in a beautiful soft olive green and decorated with an impressive naval scene featuring elegant sailing ships beneath a wide open sky. The shaped pediment adds a refined architectural touch, while the cupboard opens to reveal three shaped interior shelves.
The original painted surface has developed a wonderful mellow patina over more than two centuries, giving the piece exceptional warmth and character. The rich olive green background beautifully complements the finely painted ships and enhances the depth of the decoration. A rare and highly decorative example of English painted furniture from the late Georgian period.
