B995 Measures: 51" W x 24" D x 83" H. Walnut Linen Press Traditionally, a Walnut linen press (or just press) is a cabinet, usually of woods such as pine, oak, walnut, or mahogany, and designed for storing sheets, table-napkins, clothing, and other textiles. Such walnut linen presses were made chiefly in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries and are now considered decorative examples of antique furniture. Early versions were often quite plain, with some, but not all, exhibiting carving characteristic of Jacobean designs. Examples made during the 18th and 19th centuries often featured expensive veneers and intricate inlays, and were designed to occupy prominent places in early bedrooms as storage closets for clothing. In modern houses, a linen press is often a built-in cabinet near bedroom or bathroom, for easy access to fresh bed sheets and towels. Analogous terms are laundry cupboard or linen cupboard. In Ireland the term "hot press" describes an airing cupboard used for storing linen.
