An early George I Clothes Press Circa 1724

About the Item

AN EARLY OAK CLOTHES PRESS, BEARING THE DATE 1724 Carved into the frieze ‘EBB 1724’. Condition Report: This appears to have had some adaptions over the years, there is a hanging rail fitted to the interior, shelves have probably been removed to accommodate various fittings over the years – there is no base to the upper section, and the top pair of drawers are dummies. The lower two drawers are functional, these have had repairs to the their baseboards at some point. One has the original lock, and the other is missing. The cupboard doors have an old lock, but there are no keys. All elements are open. On the whole a very sound piece of high quality early 18th century furniture. Provenance: The Fulwood Collection. The Fulwood Collection comes from a Grade II listed rectory in the North of England. Formerly the childhood home of Sir Douglas Bader. The rectory was acquired by the late owner approximately 15 years ago. The house was formerly split into two separate houses, and with care he lovingly refurbished it back into a single house and refurnished in a blend of the Grand Tour style with Welsh and English provincial tastes. This property contained fine furniture, works of art, paintings, that were purchased by us.
