This William IV flame mahogany wardrobe dates from the 19th century and is made by S & H Jewell, High Holborn, London. The timber displays a rich warm brown grain with distinct flame figuring across the fielded panel doors and architectural cornice. Offset rounded corners frame the double doors, which are separated by a neoclassical fluted column and fitted with large brass locks and fluted mouldings. The piece is surmounted by a moulded cornice and stands upon an enclosed plinth base, with crosscut oak backboards and carcass visible inside. It is fully dismantlable for relocation and practical setup. Measuring 209 cm high, 166 cm wide, and 56 cm deep, it provides substantial storage capacity while maintaining a classical presence. Suitable for placement in a bedroom or dressing room, this wardrobe serves as a functional storage piece for hanging garments while adding traditional English character to an interior. The architectural proportions and figured timber suit period properties and country house aesthetics alike. Daily use benefits from the ample internal hanging space and the historical craftsmanship of the London cabinetmakers.

FAQs

Originating during the reign of King William IV between 1830 and 1837, this transitional style bridges Regency classical symmetry and Victorian solidity, featuring bold proportions, rich timber veneers, and architectural mouldings.

High-grade mahogany, particularly flame mahogany veneers cut from crotch timber, was favoured for exterior surfaces, while pine or oak served as secondary structural woods for carcases and interior fittings.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-dovetailed drawer joinery, original brass or timber bead mouldings, smooth hand-cut flame veneers, and occasionally cabinetmaker stamps or trade labels from London makers.

Position the piece against a neutral or dark-painted wall as a primary storage element in a bedroom or dressing room, balancing its visual weight with contemporary minimalist lighting or textured rugs.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually, avoiding silicone-based sprays, direct sunlight, and rapid humidity changes.
