Arts & Crafts Aesthetic Oak Inlaid Wardrobe, Charles Bevan Style

A great Arts & Crafts Aesthetic oak and inlaid wardrobe in the style of Charles Bevan and dating to circa 1860. Featuring a castellated top, planked doors and a fitted interior the front is beautifully and intricately inlaid with rows of concentric circles, line inlays and chevron and dog tooth banding in ebony, boxwood and mahogany.

With a central mirror door flanked by two fielded panelled doors and fitted with the original Gothic design brass twist-to-open handle. The edge of the door mouldings are also inlaid and open to reveal an interior fitted with four sliding trays and two drawers (the trays could easily be removed to give extra hanging space) as well as a side to side hanging rail, hat shelf and hooks. It stands on short legs with shaped octagonal feet.

Condition:

This is in good solid condition, marks as expected consistent with age, mirror in good condition, small section of moulding missing from the top of the right door, no key (but not required since the handles are the ‘twist-to-open’ type).

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or for more photos as we are limited in the number we can upload.

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.
