About the Item

An antique Georgian mahogany satinwood inlaid linen press housekeepers wardrobe of outstanding quality and elegant proportions. This fine English linen press features beautifully figured mahogany throughout with contrasting satinwood stringing and striking oval inlaid panels to the doors, giving the piece exceptional decorative appeal. The upper section opens to a large fitted interior with hanging rail, making it ideal for modern wardrobe use while still retaining the character and purpose of a traditional Georgian linen press. Originally these pieces were designed to store household linens and clothing, often within sliding trays above and drawers below, making them some of the most practical and desirable forms of Georgian furniture today. The base is fitted with two short drawers above two long graduating drawers, all retaining elegant oval brass handles and original key escutcheons. The drawer fronts display attractive figuring with fine satinwood crossbanding and clean restrained Georgian lines. The cabinet stands on shaped bracket feet and has a superb rich warm colour throughout. A highly versatile and decorative antique wardrobe that would work beautifully in a bedroom, dressing room, country house or period interior.
