A good George III "Bewcastle" type inlaid oak press cupboard, in two stages, the upper stage with moulded cornice and plain frieze inlaid with nine star motifs above three crossbanded and elliptically strung rectangular panelled doors and one short drawer, the base having an arrangement of four false drawers, three medium and two long graduated drawers all with brass bale handles and raised above a shaped apron on bracket feet. Width 69 ins, depth 22 ins, height 84 ins (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: The image of the Bewcastle press and the dimensions in the printed catalogue are incorrect. The press that we are selling is of an almost identical design to the one illustrated and is of a similar colour but in our opinion in a little better condition. The correct dimensions are: width across the cornice 72 ins. The cornice is detachable and the width across the top of the cupboard is 67 ins. The height of the upper section of the cupboard excluding the cornice is 47.54 ins. Depth of cupboard at the cornice is 24 ins. The overall height of the piece is 84 ins. The condition is generally very good, the cornice is in good order, all of the moulding beneath the cornice is present but a little scuffed on the returns. The three doors are not warped and have their original handles which are stamped "Webb & Greenway, Registered 1462". The brass drop handles to all drawers appear to be original and all present. The cockbeading to the drawer fronts is principally complete with only very minor losses. The most evident loss is to the centre right middle drawer which has one section of the upright cockbeading missing. The sides of the piece are a little dirty and have some paint flecks, there are however no cracks and no damage. The bracket feet are original and in generally good condition. The interior of the cupboard is in generally good order. The piece only really needs a light clean.

The colour underneath the polish is generally good and there are no significant issues with the top in terms of splits or cracks. The back of the piece is original. The sides both have stress fractures down the middle of each side running from top to bottom. These cracks are both slightly open by approximately 1/5 - 1 mm. The sides are however flat. The drawer fronts are well figured and in good order. There are no significant losses to the cockbeading. There are one or two minor sections of veneer missing which should be evident from our image.

The lot has been fully restored in recent years. The cornice is in good condition. All drawers run freely as they should. All drawers are oak lined. The handles are likely to be later replacements but there is very little evidence of this from the front of the piece except on the top three drawers. If you look very closely you can see small repairs covering small holes from a previous set of handles. All other handles and lock escutcheons show no evidence of replacement apart from at the rear where one old set of holes is visible. The handles are of the correct style and very much in keeping. The bracket feet are original and in generally good condition. The sides of the piece are in generally good order with evidence of old stress fractures but no significant issues.
