Craftsmanship & Detail

The upper cabinet is fitted with a pair of tall glazed doors, each arranged with elegant astragal glazing bars incorporating diamond-shaped panels and elongated shaped reserves. This creates a highly decorative façade while allowing books, porcelain, glassware, silver or decorative collections to remain clearly visible.

The cabinet is crowned by an especially attractive carved and pierced pediment, centred by a classical urn finial and enriched with scrolling laurel swags. Beneath, the moulded cornice and carved latticework frieze demonstrate the strong influence of eighteenth-century Chippendale design.

The lower section incorporates a useful full-width drawer with decorative moulded detailing, providing concealed storage beneath the display cabinet. The piece is raised on an elegant open stand with fluted legs, pierced corner brackets and a decorative stretcher, giving the cabinet a lighter and more refined architectural appearance.

With its narrow 102cm width, generous height and practical shelved interior, this is a highly versatile cabinet suitable for a drawing room, library, dining room, hallway or luxury contemporary interior. Its combination of scale, craftsmanship and decorative glazing gives it strong long-term appeal for collectors and interior designers alike.

Our house was built in 1820, so I have been slowly acquiring furniture from the same period. The piece is perfect & arrived very quickly too.

We purchased a table from Hawkins Antique and it is absolutely stunning and a mint condition! Delivery was very fast and the delivery team were fantastic and really went the extra mile to get the table into the house - it wasn't simple due to our narrow front door, but the guys managed to get it in, keeping the table safe along the way! Highly recommend - very happy! Made another purchase already!

We had purchased a walnut sideboard from this company. We are delighted with it and with the service. The sideboard - is in a very good condition, clean, as described and advertised. We found dealing with everyone in that company to be straight forward and helpful. I would not hesitate buying from them again! Highly recommended!!!

Bought a William Tillman table and chairs. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and the company was very understanding when we were having trouble with moving dates. They were extremely helpful and understanding. Items came well packed and dropped off by two nice chaps who moved everything into the house for us without any hassle at all. Absolutely no trouble in recommending Hawkins Antiques. Would give more than 5*
