Description

Fine quality small, neat size George III mahogany linen press obviously made by one of the top cabinet making firms of the time, possibly GILLOWS of LANCASTER. The base section with three long drawers and original bracket feet. The drawers are all mahogany lined with very nice original brass swan neck handles and original locks. The drawer bottoms are one piece of mahogany.

The top section with two panel doors with very nice detail dentil cornice above. Beautiful flame mahogany timbers used on the door panels, the doors also with astragal mouldings and inlaid flowers to the corners which are original. The inside has the original trays which are also mahogany lined with the tray fronts having a moulded edge. The top section has original lock and the original key.

The whole piece is a lovely mellow colour so not too dark as many of the early ones are.

The press comes in two pieces when moving.

Altogether a very nice example of a small linen press that would fit in any house of the highest quality.
