18th Century Dutch Mahogany Linen Press

About the Item

18th Century Dutch Mahogany Linen Press is a magnificent rendition in the classical style that was revitalized during the second half of the 1700s, as it has been for millennia! Starting with the crown, which is an intricately fashioned molding trim, it transitions via a bonnet veneered in mahogany such that the grain lines create a vertical pattern all across the facade. Upper doors are fitted with bookmatched flame mahogany for a symmetrical effect, with tailored molding and half columns on the corners which are still parts of the doors, mounted with hinges such that the doors swing completely out of the way to access the linen drawers. The lower tier consists of five drawers with two full width and two small square drawers fitted with jewelry-quality cast brass ring pulls with rosette guards, and a center smaller drawer accessible with key only. Grain orientation on the three smaller drawers mimics the bonnet treatment at the top of the piece, with half-columns on the corners like the upper tier. Fancy fluted legs provide support. The Dutch were some of the earliest European craftsmen to utilize the exotic imported mahogany from the Americas that became so desirable even today. Such pieces were family heirlooms, able to store all of a household's fine china, silver and linens in one place, and do it in timeless style! Circa 1770s Measures 78.5H x 53W x 25D Available for pickup in the Dallas Design District, Dallas, TX.

  • Antique Liegoise Country French Buffet, Linen Press
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Antique Liegoise Country French buffet ~ linen press is a remarkable example of the incredibly high quality of furnishings produced in the storied region around Liege. A manufacturing and marketing center for hundreds of years, it lies in the French speaking southeastern portion of what is today called Belgium. The traditions of the finest hand-craftsmanship predate the last several geopolitical designations, with techniques that produced sturdy pieces from the local old-growth oak. This example combines styling influence from the Louis XIII, Louis XIV and Louis XV styles, spanning over two centuries of artistic expression in wood. The wood has been painstakingly stripped using our proprietary process that retains the natural patina of the wood and presents a soft presence in the room. Mitered corners and a step-front center section produce visual appeal from all angles. Two commodious cabinets and a total of six spacious drawers attain a functionality that makes it extremely versatile. Cast brass key guards accentuate the facade, which includes a center tier of bowfront drawers...
