most
usual type of kitchen piece, for both food and utensils, was of full
height with a cupboard over a cupboard usually with a row of drawers
between, or occasionally over a whole base of drawers, and these
often formed distinctly local styles. One of the most recognizable
was produced in the extreme north-west; known as a cwpwrdd bara caws
(bread and cheese cupboard), this tall and narrow piece was usually
in one section and had ventilation panels formed of either fretwork
or spindles. There were many distinctive articles produced, often in
the most isolated of areas. Foremost among these was the cwpwrdd
tridarn, which has long been recognized as a distinct form. It was
apparently confined to a small region, principally in
Caernarfonshire, comprising the valleys that run from the centre of
Snowdonia and the coastal districts between. A large number survive
and since they originated in this restricted area in which there were
few mansions, they must originally have stood in the larger farmhouses.
