Antique Victorian Walnut Triple Compactum Wardrobe

19th century
Description

A very large walnut triple compactum wardrobe. The wardrobe is constructed from striking figured walnut throughout and is surmounted by a castellated cornice. The front is arranged with a central mirrored door, flanked by a pair of panelled cupboard doors with shaped moulded surrounds. The central door opens to reveal a fitted interior of sliding tray shelves above three drawers with decorative brass cup handles. The side cupboards are fitted for hanging, with brass rails and porcelain-tipped hooks. The wardrobe is raised on a plinth base. The wardrobe dismantles into five sections for easier transportation and installation. A particularly handsome piece of exceptional quality.

Item Reference:

M-6800

.

Dimensions:

Height - 208 cm / Width - 211 cm / Central depth - 70 cm / Side depth - 61.5 cm

.

CONDITION REPORT:

Overall in very good antique condition. There are minor scratches and signs of age throughout, as expected with a piece of this age and type. There is a very minor loss to veneer at the back right corner edges and lower area (pictured), along with a very minor loss to beading at the top right edge. The cupboard doors shut flush overall; however, the latch to the central cupboard is no longer working, meaning the central door does not sit entirely flush. There is a split to the base of the bottom drawer, but it is structurally solid and sound. Overall, it presents extremely well.

Our experienced carpenter thoroughly inspects, repairs, and restores each item in our collection to ensure it is fully prepared for use in your home. For a clear and accurate understanding of each item's condition, we ask that you carefully review all provided photos. These images are an essential part of the description and condition report, offering important visual details regarding the item's appearance and quality.

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.

Developed in the 19th century, a compactum wardrobe is an all-in-one bedroom storage unit designed to combine full-length hanging space, internal drawers, shelves, and linen slides behind a multi-door front.

High-end Victorian compactums were constructed using solid cabinet woods such as pine or oak for the carcase, veneered with decorative timbers including burr walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, and fitted with mercury-silvered mirror plates and brass hardware.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on internal drawers, original foxing or silvering variations on the mirror glass, hand-planed back boards, and sectioned construction that allows the heavy carcase to be dismantled for transport.

Place the item as a primary anchor piece in a spacious master bedroom, balancing its rich timber tones against neutral wall colours, minimalist textiles, and modern lighting to highlight the historic woodwork.

Dust the timber regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-grade beeswax polish annually along the grain. Clean the mirror plate with a lightly dampened cloth, avoiding chemical sprays near the timber edges.
