Two magnificent pieces take the spotlight – Late 18th century English Oak bow fronted hanging corner cupboard – Rare 18th Century oak wine table – Isle of Man
Excuse the average lighting in my warehouse, it’s all from spotlights. Also, oak has a tendency to photograph red, see the close up photos of the figured oak doors.
Late 18th century English Oak bow fronted hanging corner cupboard.
The moulded cornice above a mahogany top rail, having marquetry inlaid shells and plain Tunbridge ware decoration. above two bowed “H” hinged doors, wearing decorative shaped escutcheons.
Opening to reveal original ogee-shaped narrow shelves, with a lower bowed shelf and a pair of lower drawers.

Rare 18th Century oak wine table – Isle of Man
The well patinated circular top supported by a beautifully turned column, raised on three down swept cabriole legs terminating in boot feet.
The shaped legs resembling the Isle of Man flag.
The flag features three running legs bent at the knees conjoined at the centre.
Local residents of the Isle of Man explain that the legs turn anti-clockwise so that they don’t kneel to the English.
The use of the emblem on the flag in the Isle of Man dates back to the 13th Century.

After much deliberation, I’ve decided to sell a few very special pieces I’ve had at home the past 20 or more years.
This magnificent wine table is one. I simply cannot house everything I’d like to.
Note: once belonged to John D Dunn, from his personal private collection.
Call me for pricing.
