About the Item

Royal House Antiques Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this outstanding Georgian circa 1760 Flamed Mahogany Wardrobe or Linen press made during the lifetime of the great Thomas Chippendale and after his designs Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price Where to begin, this has to be the finest of its type I have ever seen, the timber patina and craftsmanship is absolutely first class from top to bottom. This is English, made after Chippendale, the sides have gold gilt bronze topped and foot Corinthian pillars, the main body is made from some of the finest cuts of Mahogany I have ever seen, it simply glows in the right light I could honestly talk for hours about this piece but the best thing to do, is for you to have a good look through all the pictures as they can better convey the wonder than I can articulate in this short description The piece is railed to the top so it can be used as a wardrobe, there is two good sized glove drawers in the top section over three very large base drawers Condition wise, we have cleaned waxed and polished it from top to bottom, it is the best part of 260+ years old, as such it has developed some patina and character over there years such as various small timber losses, the base cover of one of the pillars is missing, really you have to look hard to find the losses and they are all very small, I can have the piece fully restored by my cabinet maker and French polisher should the new owners wish to make it Gallery perfect, I would estimate the work to cost between £700-£1000, the piece would then be museum perfect, it is however, absolutely sublime as it is which is why I have kept it original Dimensions Height 221cm Width 161cm Depth 57cm 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.
