Exceptional 19th Century Georgian Mahogany Linen Press – Rosewood Crossbanded

A superb and elegant 19th century Georgian mahogany linen press, crafted to an exceptional standard and presented in a rich, warm tone with outstanding natural depth and figure.

This piece showcases beautiful bookmatched mahogany panels, enhanced with fine rosewood crossbanding, giving the doors a refined and decorative presence. The central doors are framed with delicate detailing, complemented by a subtle brass inlay strip running vertically between them.

Opening the doors reveals a clean and well-preserved interior, now fitted with a hanging rail, making the piece highly practical for modern use. Below, the base section comprises two functional drawers, offering additional storage.

The drawers are fitted with elegant brass drop handles, and feature bone or mother-of-pearl escutcheons, adding a further level of craftsmanship and period detail.
