Amazing house full of books and antiques. The old boy had been in a home for well over a decade and the family lived away so no one had tended to it. Tens of thousands of pounds worth of books and maps. Dickens first editions.

Builders had cleared a couple of skips worth before we got to it, too.

£90. Crazy.

Post by: ghopper1924 on April 01, 2013, 05:37:20 AM: Hmmm, I would have guessed that this is a 20th century interpretation of a 17th century sideboard.

90 pounds seems like a good price, though.

But if you're digging around in your pockets, why not just go ahead and buy the real 17th century thing? I believe Marhamchurch Antiques in England specializes in such pieces. Just a pound or two more...... ;D ;D ;D

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=court%20cupboard&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.44770516,d.d2k&biw=1366&bih=675&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=f8VdUfuGHeiV0QWm3YG4AQ

How old it is is hard to say without looking at it more closely, there are a lot of repros out there though but it shouldn't be too difficult to tell the difference.
Did you buy it in the end?
