Summary
Four built-in kitchen cupboards. Two pairs of two wall-mounted sliding-door cupboards one above the other. One pair on the east wall and one pair on the west wall of the kitchen. This one is the upper one of the pair of built-in kitchen wall-mounted cupboards on the east wall, above hob and oven. Wood panel construction with Formica sliding doors and inset circular finger pulls. The cupboard is divided into two. Each side has a single, height adjustable shelf supported on copper-alloy eyelets. The cupboards were originally installed in the downstairs kitchen. When the flat was created in the house, the kitchen was moved to the servery upstairs and the cupboards re-installed.
