The linen press features two exquisite flame mahogany locking door moulded panels, which sit below a beautiful protruding detachable cornice. The doors feature a brass escutcheon, original working lock and key and a vertical bass strip moulding (this is a sign of good quality). Below, the two over three mahogany lined graduated drawers in the base are hand dovetailed and cock beaded (another sign of good quality). The base also features Regency oval shaped studded brass handles and escutcheons. The press features a lovely shaped frieze to the base and the original feet. Inside, the linen press has its original four mahogany detachable sliding linen trays. There are five level settings for four linen trays, which give you the flexibility and space to adjust the position of the trays to house larger items of clothing. The linen press also features the original backboards. This is a sought after linen press due to its narrow width; allowing it to fit into relatively narrow spaces. The linen press dismantles into three sections (canopy, top and base) allowing easy access up the staircase into the bedroom.
