A large Victorian mahogany wardrobe-linen press, of architectural breakfront form

[ translate ]

A large Victorian mahogany wardrobe-linen press, of architectural breakfront form, with pediment above four reeded column supports, the twin double doors mounted with a mirror, revealing four shelves and four drawers with brass handles, flanked by wardrobes either side, on moulded plinth base, 227cm x 236cm x 68cm Condition Report: This comes apart in multiple pieces: the top cornice and bottom plinth are separate, the central door can be detached, the central part comes apart in three sections. Overall this is of good decorative appearance. The colour of the mahogany is rich and deep.There is some slight deteriotation to the edge of the mirror in centre. Some minor surface scratching and wear overall commensurate with age and use. Chip to edge of one turned wooden handle, The mirrored door is currently very stiff and hard to open as the metal hinge is opening directly on to the top cornice. It may be that there is another element which fitted between the cornice and top of the door which is now lacking, or it may be possible to refit the mirrored door. There is some surface scratching where the metal hinge runs across the base of cornice, some adaptions have been made to the fiitted interior to accommodate the hinge. Internally two drawer bases have splits although they still function. The gilt metal handles could possibly be later replacements. Some old staining to the fabric lining of each wardrobe. There is a later pine baton which has been attached to the top right of the cornice, the purpose of this is unknown although it could be removed. Some minor scratching to surface (particularly where doors open and edges of door) and relatively minor losses to veneers.
