ANTIQUE #SA1195804

Beautiful Early 1800's Original Painted Pine Armoire

£1,600    $2,130    €1,852
Here we have a beautiful and very early pine wardrobe, featuring its original hand-painted decoration dated 1808 across the top. Pieces like this were often given as marriage gifts, and the painted initials add to that sense of history and character.
 
The wardrobe has a wonderfully aged surface with lovely colour variation throughout. As you’d expect with something of this age, there are some marks and wear, particularly toward the lower sides where the paint has faded and cracked slightly. However, it’s all solid and could be carefully touched up if desired. The painted detail across the front remains especially attractive.
 
At the base are two drawers, both sliding smoothly. The doors hang on their original hinges and open almost fully, making access easy. Inside, there are currently two shelves which appear to be later additions and can simply be lifted out. There are also original pegs at the back, and a hanging rail can be fitted at the top if you’d like to use it as a wardrob...
