Collinge Antiques has dated this piece to the 1880s.
A massive carved cornice with turned finials over Gothic carved figures representing the arts of music, architecture, literature and painting. The top panels in each side door are decorated with Romanesque profile portraits of the composers Gioachino Rossini and Daniel Auber. Whilst those on the center door carry beautiful hand painted scenes of exotic birds against golden ground. The doors are flanked with turned columns each beautifully carved with different leaves and fruit.
The interior features hanging space either side of a central press fitted with slides and drawers retaining their original gilded brass handles.
Excellent condition, cleaned and waxed in our workshops. Keys supplied.
The hand painted panels are signed Wm Scott Morton & Co though it is believed the wardrobe may well have been commissioned by them from the celebrated English cabinet makers Gillows of Lancaster.
Dimensions: width 94?, depth 31?, 97?.
