Victorian Walnut Breakfront Fitted Wardrobe

A good quality English Victorian burr walnut three door breakfront wardrobe dating to circa 1870. Of rounded design with a moulded cornice above three arched panelled doors, the compactum like fitted interior with two long hanging spaces, hat shelf, sliding trays and drawers. Featuring nice ogee mouldings and good figuring to the veneers it has brass key liners, locks stamped ‘VR’ and ‘Bailey McCathie’, hinges stamped ‘Patent lock joint’ and stands on a plinth base. With straight grain walnut side, copper hanging bars and original brass hooks, the interior lining fabric has been removed.

Of solid construction with tight joints and dovetailed drawers, due to the nature of the walnut veneers there are some dark marks and inlaid and wax filled patches, the colour & polish has mellowed and there is fading to the veneer join on the right door, some drying lines and a minor repair to the panel at the back of the centre door. Mirror good, some greyish marks in lower half.

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.
