ANTIQUE #SA1053606

Georgian Oak Clothes Hanging Press Or Wardrobe

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Havard and Havard

A mid 18th century Welsh, clothes hanging press or wardrobe of practical size and attractive, low waisted proportions.
 
The broadly splayed cornice above a pair of unusual, arched top doors with conforming, arched fielded panels carved with scrolls, enclosing a milk-painted interior with a hanging rail. The lower part has a broad, finely detailed waist moulding above two tiers of drawers, on a single piece, shaped plinth. Old but later brassware. Cardiganshire, circa 1760-1780.
 
The scrolls on the door panels are similar to ones we have come across on the door panels of a cwpwrdd deuddarn from Cardiganshire. The lower part with its five drawer arrangement in two tiers and the single-piece plinth with its oversized bracket feet are features often found on the low, Cardigan/Carmarthen “coffers” from the Teifi valley.
