Summary
The bottom full width cupboard door, with two brass hinges, of a crudely built floor to ceiling cupboard unit. Constructed from four vertical planks joined together by means of three horizontal battens screwed on the inside. Painted cream on the outer surface only. A countersunk hole with brass liner above the lock would have been used in the past to secure the door. Now it is secured by means of a concealed security bolt on the outer surface.
Provenance
Purchased from the estate of the late Lord Wraxall with the assistance of the NHMF and donations from members and supporters.
