Description

We are 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
