Victorian Mahogany Two Door Wardrobe by Wylie & Lochhead

A good quality Scottish mid Victorian mahogany two door wardrobe dating to circa 1860/70 by highly esteemed Glasgow cabinetmakers, Wylie & Lochhead. With a rounded rectangular moulded cornice above two arched panelled doors and standing on a plinth base and featuring a lovely rich colour and well patterned grain.

The doors open to reveal a semi-fitted interior with a full length and shorter hanging space and two short drawers above a long base drawer. At present there is one hanging rail and hooks but we will fit another rail if required. The doors are fitted with brass catches and an improved four lever lock and whilst there is no key a good locksmith should be able to cut one if given the lock, the drawer all have original gilt swan neck handles. It is stamped ‘Wylie & Lochead, 45 Buchanan Street, Glasgow’ and number ‘5437’.

Very good colour & and solidly constructed but has suffered some veneer loss to the bottom of the doors and top of the right hand door as well as little to the downward facing surface on the right side cornice, there is a repair to the very back edge on the right side. The lining fabric to the interior has been removed ready for replacement, the right hand space previously had two shelves but these have been removed to provide useable hanging space.

The overall dimensions at the largest points are approximately

Width - 61 ½in (155cm)

Depth - 26 ¼in (66.5cm)

Height - 83 ¾in (213cm)

Internal depth - 19in (48cm)

For transportation and moving this wardrobe splits into three sections (cornice, plinth, main hanging section).

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.
