About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning original 1738 dated Antique German Marriage wardrobe / Folded linen cupboard in the oldest and most original paint I have ever seen I have recently purchased a very large collection of these original, antique painted wardrobes and trunks, I have around 15 wardrobes and 20 trunks in total, each one totally different, this sale is for the piece listed above with all others being listed under my other items This one is an exceptionally good looking well made and collectable wardrobe, the hand painted detailing is exquisite throughout and as mentioned the absolute oldest I have ever seen, it has so much charm and character. The piece comes complete with the original lock and key which are fully functional. This one is dated to the top 1738, I'm not sure if thats the real original date, it could be later as they were making these wardrobes up until the end of the 19th century, the paint certainly looks old enough to be from the early 18th century! Inside you have shelves for folded linens Condition wise this wardrobe has all the original paint and finish, there will be age and use related patina marks as you would expect, all of which add to the honesty, charm and charisma of the wardrobe Dimensions Height:- 178.5cm Width:- 125.5cm Depth:- 52cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
