A stunning Edwards & Roberts Sheraton Revival inlaid mahogany breakfront wardrobe dating to the early Victorian period.

The swan neck pediment and cornice also crossbanded with kingwood and inlaid with floral motifs and faux fluting. With raised arched panels to the four doors which open to reveal a linen press fitted interior with the original wooden hanging pegs, drawers and sliding trays (which could be removed to give three larger hanging areas) and all standing on a plinth base. Stamped ‘Edwards & Roberts’ to the upper left drawer.

In good solid condition and sympathetically cleaned and polished by hand using traditional materials. There are marks and signs of damage from age and some chips to the inside of the doors.

Edwards & Roberts were acclaimed English cabinetmakers founded in London in 1845 and who specialised in marquetry, inlay and ormolu making reproductions of earlier styles such as their Thomas Hope ebony & brass inlaid mahogany chair in the collection of the V&A Museum. They were able to produce superb quality English antique furniture using some of the finest quality timbers and became one of the leading cabinet makers during the Victorian period. As well as making and selling their own antique furniture, they also retailed, restored and adapted antique furniture. The company ceased trading in 1899.
