A rather good looking wardrobe of smaller scale with a handy top drawer with Art Deco influences English C1930. In its day it would have been placed in a bedroom, possibly by a bachelor, who knows! With its scale and design very much worthy of placing anywhere you so desire.

We have such good shapes and accents on this one with a long door opening up to a telescopic chrome hanging rail with a flight of open shelves to the left. This one, unlike others of the era, comes with a useful top drawer. Condition is good with sensible historic wear to the oak veneer and frame, original cast handles are in place. We have ensured it is ready for placing.

A good looking and useful piece in oak C1930s.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina

A bachelors wardrobe from the 1930s Art Deco period is a compact, space-saving storage cabinet designed primarily for single bedrooms or dressing rooms. These pieces typically combine a hanging section or fitted interior shelves with integrated drawers, characterised by geometric lines and streamlined woodwork.

1930s oak furniture utilised solid European or English oak alongside cut oak veneers over softwood cores to highlight distinctive grain patterns. Construction methods featured traditional dovetail drawer joints, cast metal or bakelite handles, and carved timber accents framing panelled doors.

Authentic 1930s wardrobes display rounded upper corners, geometric moulding, and subtle carved accents characteristic of late Deco design. Look for period-correct interior hanging rails, original drop or loop handles, and natural age-related patina across the timber finish.

Integrate a compact oak wardrobe into an entrance hallway as a coat cupboard, or place it in a guest room for supplementary storage. Combining the warm oak finish with neutral wall palettes or modern minimalist furniture creates a balanced, layered room scheme.

Position the wardrobe away from direct heat radiators and direct sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage or surface colour fading. Apply a high-quality beeswax polish regularly using a soft cloth, working along the wood grain to preserve the original finish.
