Late Victorian Jacobean Style Oak Wardrobe

An unusual late Victorian Elizabethan/Jacobean style wardrobe made from solid limed quarter-sawn oak. It is extremely well built using the traditional pegged construction method and quarter-sawn oak throughout. It should also be noted that this wardrobe is extra deep on the inside.

It features a low moulded cornice which forms the ‘ceiling’ of the wardrobe with a frieze carved in the Elizabethan style with demi-flowers. It has four full length doors each with eight fielded panels and vertical lines of small carved lunettes. The doors do not have handles but do have decorative grey metal escutcheons, the locks have been removed from the right hand doors and the left door has a lock but no key. There is a wooden toggle to the inside top & bottom of the far left door.

The interior has plenty of storage with a long shelf and hanging rail to the left side and a short hanging rail and shelves to the right. The inside depth is very generous at 57.5cm (22 ?in).

Overall this a handsome and extremely good quality piece of furniture with plenty of storage space and in a style which would look charming in an older period cottage or house.

Condition:

Very good condition overall, as noted earlier some locks have been removed and there is no key to the remaining lock on the left door. There is a slight chip to one of the edges on the right side of the cornice and reinforcing blocks seem to have been added behind the legs.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information of photos.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
