Hall House Stained Glass Door Corner Cupboard #2

This is one of a set of two Hall House Stained Glass Door Corner Cupboards, specifically identified as "#2". It is a wall-mounted or free-standing corner cabinet designed to fit snugly into a room's corner, optimizing space. The overall dimensions are 18 inches in width, 12 inches in depth, and 22 inches in height. The cupboard is constructed from a rich, dark wood, possibly mahogany or a similar type, featuring a visible grain pattern, particularly on the curved top and bottom edges, suggesting a high-quality finish. The construction appears sturdy, with clean lines and well-joined corners. The most striking characteristic is its stained glass door, which features clear glass panels leaded together in an ornate, repeating Gothic or Arts and Crafts inspired pattern. The leading is dark, accentuating the geometric and curvilinear shapes within the glass. The glass itself appears generally clear with no visible cracks or damage, allowing visibility into the cabinet's interior. A notable feature is the brass or bronze ornate handle, which incorporates a ring pull and a decorated backplate, adding to its antique or vintage aesthetic. There are no obvious signs of significant wear or damage on the visible surfaces, suggesting good preservation. The piece exhibits craftsmanship typical of English furniture, aligning with the "Made in England" context provided. The style points towards a late 19th to early 20th-century period, possibly Arts & Crafts or Edwardian, given the leaded glass detail and robust wooden construction. The quality of materials and the intricate door design indicate a well-crafted piece of furniture.
