Philadelphia Federal Wardrobe / Armoire in West Indies Mahogany c. !820
About the Item
An exceptional American Federal wardrobe from Philadelphia in fine West Indies mahogany. Features split cylindrical columns with elaborate acanthus-carved Corinthian capitals flanking doors with book matched, crotch-mahogany panels. The stepped ogee-style crown molding, too, is expertly book matched, along with the concave base board molding that is embellished with a gadrooned edge. The wardrobe rests on carved acanthus foliage that terminate with lion's paw feet in the front and turned feet in the back. All carvings are from solid West Indies mahogany, with crotch and book-matched mahogany veneers, with mahogany and poplar as the secondary woods. Interior offers an original center divider with two drawers and shelving. Each of the two sides of the wardrobe open to a cabinet with interior shelves. Interior is 20" deep which is deep enough for hanging clothes, an easy option with the removal of the shelves (see photograph). Comes with working locks and three keys. This American masterpiece is a collector's item showcasing high level of design and craftsmanship with extremely well-articulated and executed carvings and veneer work.
Wardrobe disassembles for easy transport and installation. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, circa 1820.
