A Superb Antique/old Pine Victorian Waxed 2 Piece Linen Press

19th century
Description

This linen press is in good condition. We have professionally stripped and restored it and then waxed it in a lovely antique brown bri wax giving it a stunning patina.

It does knockdown into two pieces making it easier to move into a property. The top section is still reasonably quite large so a staircase would need to be straight with no turns.

The linen press would look well in an old or modern property amongst similar antique pine furniture for storage of many clothes. It would also look great in a large bedroom. It would also look great in a kitchen for storage of kitchen items.

The cupboard stands on original round bun feet supporting the main section. There are four large drawers. The drawers have cock beading around the edge and a wooden knob. The drawers have dovetail joints and are pine lined. Above the drawers the top sits neatly upon the base with two doors. Each door has one panel. There is a key and round turned wooden knobs to the doors. The top has a standard graduated cornice. There are two shelves behind the doors and the shelves are not fixed so you could place more in if needed.

The height is 201cm, the width is 139cm and the depth is 60cm.

Delivery Terms

WE OFFER FREE DELIVERY TO ENGLAND, WALES, AND SCOTLAND (BELOW PERTH)

Shipping /delivery is equally as important to us as the item of furniture itself. It is simple; we deliver everything personally in England / Wales so this way we are 100% sure that the item / furniture reaches our customers safe and sound. We NEVER use couriers. Delivery is generally within 7-14 days of purchase. We guarantee delivery anywhere in England / Wales within 21 days of purchase.

Deliveries to Scotland as far north as Perth are guaranteed within 6 weeks of purchase. If delivery is required above Perth in Scotland please contact James on 07957 392 074 or

james@davidhuntantiques.com for a price.

Deliveries are either carried out by David or James as one member of the team is required to stay in the warehouse, therefore we do require assistance from the van into your hallway with the item of furniture. We have set delivery days and once the van is loaded (a day prior to delivery) David will call customers to arrange a two hour delivery time slot. Customers will also receive a text when delivery is 30 minutes away.

It is really helpful if customers can provide their ‘what3words’ location to make delivery as smooth

as possible, especially properties in rural locations.

Ireland Deliveries

We do use a very good courier company called DVM Service to deliver goods to Ireland. We ask the customer to pay this company direct for the delivery charge and we then liaise with DVM regarding collection of a customer’s item of furniture to be shipped to Ireland.

Europe & Rest of the World

We do not ship to Europe or the Rest of the World.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Victorian linen press is a traditional two-part storage cabinet introduced primarily for storing household linens, sheets, and clothing prior to fitted wardrobes. The top section features double doors concealing shelves or slides, while the base typically consists of a chest of drawers.

These cabinets were constructed using solid pine timber, featuring hand-dovetailed drawer joints, mortise and tenon door frames, and hand-cut timber backboards. The exterior surfaces were traditionally finished with beeswax or shellac to protect and highlight the wood grain.

Authentic Victorian pieces exhibit hand-saw marks on structural framing, original hand-turned wooden knobs, historic lock mechanisms, and evidence of hand-planing on rear panels. Later reproduction pieces often display uniform machine-cut timber and modern joinery hardware.

A pine linen press serves as functional storage in contemporary dining rooms as a larder, in bedrooms as a wardrobe, or in utility spaces for household linens. Its natural timber tones contrast effectively against modern plaster walls or muted paint schemes.

Maintain the timber by dusting regularly with a dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish once or twice a year in the direction of the grain. Avoid placing the unit near direct heat sources or in damp environments to prevent wood movement and shrinkage.
