Antique English Georgian Flame Mahogany Linen Press Chest Wardrobe Cupboard

Antique English Georgian Flame Mahogany Linen Press Chest Wardrobe (Circa 1800). This is a handsome antique English Georgian linen press, constructed with flame mahogany, circa 1800, in good overall condition. Lovely quality flame mahogany door panels.

Original brass door latches and lock with working key. Brass hanging rail to top section.

Two-over-two drawer configuration (bottom section). Original brass swan neck handles & escutcheons.

Dismantles into 2 sections easy access into rooms. The linen press incorporates a dentil moulded cornice to the top, above two decorative flame mahogany panel doors.

The left-hand door retains its original brass sliding latches, while the right-hand door features a working lever lock (with working key). The top section opens to reveal a spacious interior, including a brass hanging rail.

The base section comprises a two-over-two drawer configuration, with further plentiful storage space. The drawer sides are oak lined and hand-dovetailed, therefore constructed in the original manner. The drawer fronts are decorated with elegant flame mahogany fronts, cock-beaded detail, whilst retaining the original brass swan neck handles and circular backplates, key escutcheons and working locks (with key). The linen press is raised on its old replacement bracket feet. The wardrobe also features the original pine backboards. The linen press dismantles into two sections (top and base) allowing easy access up the staircase and into the bedroom. This Georgian wardrobe features a rich red-brown mahogany colour.

It has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. This Georgian mahogany linen chest is an excellent investment but is also very practical for storage and would look superb in a variety of rooms, especially the bedroom. This item would certainly grace any home.
