Arts & Crafts Aesthetic Ash Fitted Triple Wardrobe, Charles Bevan Style

A great Arts & Crafts Aesthetic ash wardrobe in the style of Charles Bevan and dating to circa 1890. Featuring a castellated top, flanking columns and planked doors. The front is beautifully painted with flowers and motifs and with burr walnut scumble painting to the canted edges.

It has a central mirror door flanked by two fielded panelled doors with original Gothic design brass twist-to- open handles, there is a drawer to the base of one hanging section and a shoe box with lift-up lid to the other. The central section is fitted with 4 sliding trays and three drawers and the trays could easily be removed to give extra hanging space. The internal depth is 50cm (19 3/4in) so the current hanging rails could easily be replaced by up-to-date full width rails.

The mirror is original and has developed that beautiful sparkle you only get in antique mirrors, it is in good condition but does have a slight cloudy spot near the top.

Condition: This is in good solid condition and as should be expected does have marks consistent with age & use, in addition there are paint marks to the left side, old dark marks on the columns, and a narrow piece of moulding missing from the back edge of the cornice on the right side. In addition the fabric linings are well worn and marked and have some tears (but could easily be removed).

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.
