A William and Mary Mulberry Linen Press
A William and Mary Mulberry Linen Press
IN THE MANNER OF COXED & WOSTER, 18TH CENTURY AND LATER
originally from an important pair.
Height 77 x width 62 1/2 x depth 21 1/2 inches.
European Furniture & Decorative Arts
The piece is in very good condition, attractive and stable. Lower case appears to be older with top and interiors being later additions/adjustments. There are minor losses to the veneer around the keyholes and at the corners. The lock mechanism on the case has been replaced (likely early 20th Century), the lock panel on the first drawer has been removed and all keyholes have slight chipping to the veneer. Both door panels have stress cracks running the full length. Interior has three graduated shelves.

The matching press belonged to Bill Blass, however it was not offered in the single owner sale held by Sotheby's, NY 2003, but instead retained by a family member.
