This cupboard was brought out from England. It was purchased in the 1960s from a saleroom for very little.
The Panels are deeply carved and I am interested to know more about the story that they depict.
If anyone can help, I would be very grateful.

I am truly impressed.
I live in England and have a fairly similar cupboard, which I will post for you to see! Are the heads holding the rings Lions? I believe my piece to be of Flemish origin, apart from that I cannot tell you much more except that I love mine dearly! I am vertically challenged (short!!) but can reach inside my cupboard without resorting to a chair to stand on.
The detail is amazing, wow!
Yes, look the same as my lion's head, what about the top half of a man wearing a pointed headdress, I cannot quite make yours out. If you look at mine, he just below the lion's head, if it is too difficult to make out I will post another picture. Your panels are very interesting - could be a bit of a pub brawl going on in the last one!! Hope you have some luck researching it - it is truly a wonderful looking cabinet!
Will look forward to any information you may come across.
