Gothic antique brown oak wardrobe by Marsh, Jones & Cribb

About the Item

Victorian gothic Aesthetic Movement brown oak wardrobe by Marsh, Jones & Cribb Well figured brown oak veneers with burr of good colour, elaborate stop chamfers and handles in the Aesthetic style. The panelled doors on either side featuring the contrasting vertical and diagonal planked panels, both open to hanging space with a bar for hangers, the left side with box base with hinged lid. The mirrored central door opens to four slides and drawers below. The carcass, drawers and linings in mahogany - a sign of the best quality. The wardrobe plinth base is on castors for ease of movement and breaks down into 5 sections for installation, the original mirror plate door is also removable. English, circa 1870 Brown oak is oak that has been pollarded, the rich brown colour (hence the name) or staining is achieved by the tree being host to the 'beef-steak' or 'bracket' fungus, the fungus gains entry to the tree it having been pollarded, or cut. The fungus over time will pervade the whole trunk of the tree, but to no detriment or decay because the fungus only extracts enough nourishment for itself. So the burr is caused by pollarding the tree and the colour stain owing to chemical changes in the wood. We particularly like the colour, quality and geometric details, stylised but not fussy. Marsh, Jones & Cribb were cabinet makers originally from Leeds, West Yorkshire, expanding to London in the latter 19th century where they had showrooms in Cavendish Square. They were noted for their quality and execution of fine furniture in the gothic revival style with pieces designed by Charles Bevan and Bruce Talbot, either of which could have had a hand in the design of this wardrobe in the distinctive geometric style. Other examples often found in ash, this is unusual in brown oak. 211cm H, 194cm W, 56cm D. Please contact us directly for competitive shipping quotes.
