The single door is framed around two panels: a modest piece of country elegance that lifts the cupboard above the purely workaday. An iron rim lock behind a brass escutcheon secures the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eInside, the cupboard bears its original stain. Two shelves with gently undulating, serpentine-shaped fronts divide it into three tiers. The reverse of the door panel bears a lattice of old scratches and scribed marks, the accumulated traces of generations of household use. In a Welsh farmhouse such a cupboard would have hung in the angle of the kitchen or parlour, keeping the family’s best china, tea and small valuables under lock and key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eWales.
