A large late Victorian flame mahogany veneer cedre linen press or housekeeper''s cupboard.
Constructed in richly decorative flame mahogany, the cabinet features an impressive architectural cornice above four panelled doors, with finely carved scroll corbels. The central pair of doors open to reveal the original arrangement of sliding pine linen trays, whilst below sits a bank of four graduated drawers fitted with turned wooden knobs.
The outer cupboards provide additional full-height storage and each incorporates a lower drawer, making the piece exceptionally practical as both a linen press and general storage cabinet.
The quality of the mahogany throughout is particularly striking, displaying dramatic flame figuring across the door panels. Retaining a warm, well-aged patina and much of its original character, this is a handsome and highly functional piece of English Victorian furniture.
