Description

A lovely large Victorian mahogany linen press. We date this press to the mid 19th century.

The press sits on bracket feet and has a stepped cornice it comes in three sections, the top section, a separate cornice and the drawer base.

The top section has two side hinged doors with attractive mouldings. Internally it has five linen drawers and a later added full width rail to allow it to be used for hanging clothes. The right hand door is fitted with a lock (key supplied) and the left hand door has top and bottom catches.

The base has four deep graduated drawers arranged two over two. They are fitted with brass drop handles mounted on decorative backplates. The drawers are fitted with locks (no key is supplied although one should be obtainable if required).

The press has an overall height of 82" (209cm), a cornice width of 54.5" (139cm) and a cornice depth of 23" (59cm).

The internal hanging height is 39” (99cm) and the hanging depth is 19.5” (50cm).

This lovely Victorian press remains in very good solid condition with minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. There is a bit of wear to some edges with some indents to the outer sides. There is a slight twist to the top door and the drawer linings have a bit of wear and some old repairs.

This remains a very stylish and elegant large Victorian press which provides a very large amount of useful storage space. It will continue to provide sterling service for many years to come.
